Tips

• Customize your walking tacos with your favorite taco toppings like sour cream or guacamole.
• For a vegetarian option, swap the beef for seasoned black beans or crumbled tofu.

Storage

Best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day, though note that the Fritos will lose their crunch.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a refreshing limeade or a cold Mexican beer.
• Serve with a side of guacamole and extra salsa for dipping.
