Instructions

Tap a step number to check it off as you cook.

Prep your toppings first: dice the 1 cebolla amarilla and 2 tomates roma medianos, shred the lettuce, slice the 1 jalapeño entero, and set everything out in small bowls so your toppings bar is ready to go.

Uses

  • Jalapeño
  • 7–8 min
  • Medium-high

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 ½ lb carne molida 80/20 recomendado and diced cebolla amarilla. Cook, breaking the meat into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until the 1 ½ lb carne molida 80/20 recomendado is browned and the 1 cebolla amarilla is softened, about 7–8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat, leaving just a thin film in the pan.

Uses

  • Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • 1 min

Add the minced dientes de ajo and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.

  • 1 min

Add the 1 tsp chile en polvo, 1 tsp comino, ½ tsp pimentón, ½ tsp ajo en polvo, ½ tsp cebolla en polvo, ¼ tsp orégano seco, ¼ tsp pimienta de cayena (if using), 1 tsp sal kosher más, and ½ tsp pimienta negra. Stir well to coat the meat in the spices and cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.

Uses

  • Kosher Salt
  • 5 min
  • Medium-low

Pour in the 1 can salsa de tomate and ¼ cup agua. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and clings to the meat. Taste and adjust 1 tsp sal kosher más as needed. Remove from heat.

Uses

  • Salsa
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Kosher Salt

To assemble each walking taco: hold a snack-size fritos corn chips bag upright and gently crush the chips inside slightly with your hand — this creates more surface area and makes eating easier. Cut or tear open the top of the bag.

Uses

  • Fritos Corn Chips
  • Corn Chip

Spoon a generous portion of the hot taco meat (about 3–4 tablespoons) directly into the open chip bag on top of the chips.

Uses

  • Corn Chip

Top with shredded 1 ½ cups mezcla de queso mexicano (the heat from the meat will melt it slightly), a dollop of crema agria, a spoonful of salsa tu favorita embotellada o fresca, shredded lettuce, diced tomates roma medianos, and any other toppings you like. Add a squeeze of limas enteras and dig in with a dipping fork right from the bag!

Uses

  • Dipping Fork
  • Salsa
