Notes
If you want to have fun at an event or backyard party, this is the way. Walking tacos allow someone to keep at least one hand clean while they're eating and mingling - perfect for adults holding drinks or kids holding toys. It's also great for kids because there's almost no risk of them spilling a plate while they eat or play. The individual Fritos bags contain everything, and when you're done, you just throw the bag away. This is perfect for camping, tailgating, school events, birthday parties, or any time you want tacos without the mess. The salty Fritos replace tortilla chips and add great crunch and flavor. Pro tip: Slightly crush the chips in the bag before adding toppings so everything mixes better.
