Just in time for Cinco de Mayo...Tacos in a Bag

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, one big reason to party Mexican!

Tacos in a Bag floats around my region every so often at fairs and such. I had my first experience myself a few years ago at a VFW Holiday Bazaar. I couldn't believe I hadn't had this before ~ so simple to make and SO easy to clean up! A match made in heaven.

You need to get a bag of those Doritos snack bags ~ the size you get for kids lunches.

Then get your Make Ahead Taco Meat out of the freezer; thaw and heat. OR take 5 min. and brown some ground beef or turkey with your favorite seasoning.

Chop up 2 Roma tomatoes. Shred some cheese and lettuce. And make sure you have sour cream and salsa on hand, if your crowd likes those condiments.

Now, to make a Taco in a Bag...

First, take one of the little Doritos bags and open one end. Then smoosh your chips coarsely. Scoop in 1-2 T meat. Then add sour cream, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. This order tends to work best because after all your toppings are added, you use a spoon to mix it up.

Then you eat this taco from the bag with the spoon! When you are done, you throw the bag and (assuming it's plastic) spoon away! No leaky taco shells and easy cleanup!

Adios!
