Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 individual snack-sized bags of Nacho Cheese Doritos (1.75 oz each)
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/2 cup salsa or hot sauce
  • Optional: 1 cup refried beans or black beans
  • Optional: 1 avocado or 1 cup guacamole
  • Optional: 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels

Instructions

  1. Chop lettuce, dice tomatoes, slice jalapeños, and shred cheese. Arrange all toppings in small bowls or plates for easy assembly.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until beef is browned and onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Drain excess fat if needed. Sprinkle in taco seasoning and add water. Stir well to coat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until sauce thickens and clings to meat.
  4. Open individual Doritos bags carefully. Gently crush chips inside each bag to bite-sized pieces. Spoon about 1/4 cup hot taco meat into each bag.
  5. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and your choice of extras (sour cream, jalapeños, salsa, olives, corn, avocado, etc.).
  6. Hand out forks or small tongs so everyone can mix up their taco right in the bag. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For best crunch, add meat to chips just before serving. Customize toppings to taste. Vegetarian option: use seasoned black beans or lentils instead of meat. Keep meat warm in a slow cooker for parties. Use gloves or tongs for mixing multiple bags. If Doritos bags rip, serve in small bowls.
