Walking Tacos

Notes
This recipe is for a pretty basic walking taco, so feel free to spice it up with some sliced jalapeños, olives, onion, pico de gallo or anything else you want. You can also use a similar technique with corn chips, chili, cheese, onion and sour cream to make frito pie in a bag.
A 9-10 oz. bag of chips makes a pretty big meal. So, if you like to share, aim for two people per 9-10 oz. bag. If you like some privacy with your food, opt for a 4-5 oz. bag per person.
Don’t use 1 oz. bags, though. They are way too small.
