Walking Tacos With A Delicious Twist
You’ve heard of walking tacos right? Well how about these SunChips tacos in a bag! They are a delicious alternative to corn chips, and a great idea for casual parties at home.
I found a new alternative to traditional walking tacos, and I think you need to give it a try, stat! I love using the Garden Salsa SunChips because the flavor compliments taco toppings and chili, perfectly. I guarantee they are a winner with both kids and adults alike.
There are two meat options in the recipe; one with chicken, and the traditional ground beef version. Make both for a larger group, or choose one for a party of eight or twelve. You could also make my southwestern chili for the topping.
Serving Suggestions
Provide this SunChips version along with mini bags of Fritos and Doritos for a chili bar party.
Fill small bowls with your favorite taco or nacho toppings:
- shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- diced tomatoes
- diced onions or green onions
- pickled jalapenos
- sour cream
- queso cheese
- shredded lettuce
- salsa
You’ll need plenty of forks so guests can eat straight from the bag.
Cut the top of the bag down enough so it’s easier to reach the chips, if you need to.
You can also cut the bags on the side so you have a larger opening overall.
You can also enjoy these nachos-style in a basket. These are an excellent addition to football party food, kids birthdays, and Halloween pre-trick-or-treat outings.

Notes
Use my southwest chili recipe to make the walking tacos.
Yummy recipe – I have tried it with Fritos but never with Sun Chips. Since they are a little lower in calories I am eager to try this. Plus it helps that I am starving while I read this……thanks for the post – hope I win 🙂
