Ingredients
Scale
- For the Base:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 envelope reduced-sodium chili seasoning mix
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 1 can (15 ounces) Ranch-style beans (pinto beans in seasoned tomato sauce)
- For Serving:
- 5 packages (1 ounce each) corn chips (like Fritos or tortilla chip bags)
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Sour cream
- Sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Mixture:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles (about 6–8 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
- Add Seasoning and Simmer:
- Stir in the chili seasoning mix, pepper, diced tomatoes with green chiles, and beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered until the mixture thickens, about 20–25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Assemble the Walking Tacos:
- Open individual bags of corn chips. Spoon the beef mixture into each bag, then top with shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onions. Serve warm.
