Walking Taco Casserole is cheesy, crunchy, savory, spicy and delicious! All your favorite taco flavors and textures in one scrumptiously easy Mexican hotdish!
Ever eaten a walking taco? Or served them to a herd of hungry youth group kids? lol Walking tacos are a genius single-serve invention that makes it easy to enjoy all the taco flavor without the mess.
Open a single-serve bag of Fritos, add a spoonful or two of seasoned taco meat and your favorite toppings. Eat it with a fork. Delish and portable! (This recipe would be a delicious walking tacos recipe, too! Just layer it in the bag instead of a casserole dish.)
Walking Taco Casserole is a twist on that scrumptious idea. Only, my Walking Taco Casserole makes enough for 6 servings all in one pan. It’s going to rock your next Taco Tuesday!
You guys, it’s seriously SO GOOD! The bottom is a simple taco seasoned ground beef and black beans mixture with tons of flavor. The next layer is melty delicious shredded cheese and then comes the layer of crispy crunchy Fritos. Add your favorite taco toppings and have dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less!
This is a front of the file box recipe! You’re going to be asked to make it over and over again. I would even serve this to company for game day parties, bonfire get-togethers or movie nights. You’re gonna love Walking Taco Casserole!
