Who ever heard of a Walking Taco? Not me. One evening in late August, the night of the kids camp-out at Bay Crest beach in Huntington Bay, Long Island, I was introduced to this treat. A Bay Crest Association couple brought the concept back from Minneapolis, and I think this will become a staple item and favorite neighborhood event for many years to come. Nothing like trendsetters!
I did a little research. The walking taco, also known as a Frito boat, is a popular food item in the South, Midwest and Southwest areas of the U.S. It resembles a Mexican style casserole dish, but the offering this evening was the single-serve doritos type chip bag with the various ingredients. It was a fun, casual and simple preparation for our beach crowd. I can see this concept working very well at a sporting event, street fair, children’s party, outdoor amusement park or market. One may find this in California or even Tijuana, where they say Tostiloco or Doriloco.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
Ground beef or chicken Lettuce
Shredded cheese Sour cream
Guacamole Beans
Tomato Small bags of Doritos
Just like a regular taco, there are variations and additions to this ingredients list, depending on your taste preferences.
Simply open a single bag of Doritos, fill with the ingredients of your choice.
Crush the chips at the bottom of the Doritos bag. Eat with a plastic fork while walking around chatting with friends and neighbors.
BAY CREST IS A SPECIAL PLACE, HOME OF THE EPIC WALKING TACO!
Simpatica!
