The walking taco - An appreciation thread

[Lip Glossary]

I was talking to someone about this in another thread and it's probably a regional thing, but hopefully all of you have experienced the joy and flavour of a walking taco.
A walking taco is typically served from a bar, a fair, roach coach, carnival or anywhere else that they just want to give you something quick to eat for a few bucks.
It's when you take a bag of fritos or doritos, smash them down and add taco meat, cheese, jalapenos, tomatoes, sour cream, pretty much all the ingredients that you could think of for an amazing taco. Then they shake the bag up, put a fork in and hand it to you. When you're done delighting your taste buds you just throw the plastic fork and bag into the bin.
For about $4 dollars you get handed this bad boy

Spoiler: The walking taco

They are just a cheap, easy, hassle free bag of deliciousness and I love them. The best part about them is anybody can make them from home.
Personally, I prefer fritos but most people that aren't from the southwest seem to prefer cheese doritos instead.

I've had multiple Doritos based walking tacos, but I never tried it with Fritos.

Try it with fritos, that's the way they do it in Texas and New Mexico. It's a fucking GAME CHANGER.

I am sure it's fine, but that's something I would never buy or make. I don't really understand the appeal of using brand chips for street food. It reminds me of a prison meal.

Well I've never been to prison so I don't have anything to base that on, so maybe that's why I like them.

When I would come back to America every summer I lived in Texas, and you know how they are with fritos. They're OBSESSED. Frito pie, Texas straw hats, they even crunch up fritos in their chili instead of crackers.
Crunching up fritos in your chili is actually choice. You should try that too.

I've always made taco salads with Fritos, they're just perfect for it. Sometimes I'll get the chili cheese flavor.

KF users when you use corn product, small instead of corn product, big for tacos.

ITT: supposedly straight KFer acts like a faggot because his mind can't fathom local street fair and carnival food without equating it to the snacks niggers apparently made in prison before he was forced to blow them.
I'm sorry that walking tacos give you Vietnam flashbacks of your days of being somebody's bitch in the penitentiary, but I've never been locked up so I wouldn't know about that.
Next this idiot is going to claim Frito pie is nigger prison food.

 

[HamFan]

I've never really loved walking tacos. Not a fan of eating out of a bag.
I get making them for feeding a crowd, but it's not something I would pay for.

I work in a school cafeteria, we make walking tacos for the kids once or twice a month. I do love that they come in a bag, less cleanup- but one thing I ask myself, why are they called walking tacos, instead of walking nachos? Very yummy either way.

Hey it's not my fault that you got punked in prison.

I don't want you to continue to shit up my thread with gay slap fighting. So I figured we could continue your little song and dance there.

You're the one crying about it and "only pretending to be retarded" in a fucking thread about walking tacos dude.
Now I have talked to you all I'm going to talk to you about this. You came on to this thread for no reason starting shit and wanting to slap fight. Further negative responses from you will be ignored and reported to the mods. Thank you.
Edit: I have since deleted the post on your profile because you're being a cry bully about it, I hope that is enough of an olive branch for you to leave me alone in my food post.

I think because you are basically using everything for a taco and substituting the shell for the chips. But then again you pretty much could use all the ingredients you would use on a Taco for nachos so you've got a point there.

Okay but do you use plain ones or seasoned ones?

The chili cheese fritos are the best for EVERYTHING.

 

[Green Kitbash]

Fritos sounds the way to go. Never had it that way itself, but I have had fritos in chili. I just realized that I never have fritos on hand. Damn.

Now the question would the chili cheese fritos clash too much with the rest of the entree when making a walking taco or is plain the only way to go?

No the chili cheese flavor lends itself really well to the seasoned taco meat. Plain fritos are awesome as well, but the chili cheese ones add that little extra pizzazz of flavor to it, especially if you like a little dollop of sour cream in there.
