Walking Taco Casserole

Written by Merlin

These walking taco casseroles are absolutely delicious. Forget the casserole dish and put all of the ingredients into individual fritos bags for a fun dinner on a camping trip!

This walking taco casserole combines your favorite ingredients from a walking taco into a delicious casserole. Taco meat is layered in a baking dish with Frito chips, cheddar cheese soup and shredded Mexican cheese blend. Once the casserole has finished baking, it is topped off with lettuce and tomato. If you want to add some beans to this dish, you can mix refried beans or black beans right in with the ground beef mixture. You can serve this recipe with sour cream and salsa if you would like. Enjoy.

The only changes I’ve made to this dish over the years is adding onion to the ground beef, a layer of taco sauce or salsa to juice it up a bit, and a smidge more sour cream and cottage cheese.

Ingredients :

  • 1 lb Ground chicken, beef or turkey
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1/2 Can of Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chillies)
  • 1 Packet of Taco seasoning
  • 1 Bag of Frito Corn Chips
  • 1 Can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Can Enchilada Sauce (10 oz)
  • 2 oz. Cream Cheese
  • 2 C. Shredded Cheese

Directions :

In a skillet brown the meat and onion. Add the Rotel and taco seasoning. Simmer until any liquid is evaporated. Add black beans and cream cheese. Turn off the heat and stir in the cream cheese until melted and combined. Stir in the enchilada sauce.
Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray. Dump 1/2 of the bag of Fritos into the bottom of the pan. Top with 1/2 of the meat mixture and 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layer Chips, meat, cheese.
Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is heated through
