TACOS IN A BAG (OR TACO SALAD IN A BAG)



Tacos in a Bag (Or Taco Salad in a Bag) image

Not really a 'recipe', just a way to serve them when you have a lots of kids over, and most important NO MESS to clean up. My DS's and their cousins really had fun with this, and they could layer whatever they wanted. I'm giving just an estimated quantity and serving is for 1 person. To free up your time buy presliced vegetables from the local salad bar in your supermarket, just place them individually in the plastic produce bag and place in salad bar container to keep ingredients apart.

Categories     Kid Friendly

Time 25m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup plain Doritos or 1 cup tortilla chips
1/2 cup taco meat
3 tablespoons shredded taco cheese
1 tablespoon chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped bell peppers, whatever type you prefer
4 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
1 tablespoon sliced green olives
1/3 cup shredded lettuce
2 tablespoons taco sauce
2 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat leftover taco meat in microwave.
  • Have the kids help you carry the rest of the ingredients outside to the picnic table (you carry the meat).
  • Hand each child a plastic sandwich bag and pour the corn chips in the bag.
  • Have each child gently crush the chips, not roughly or else they'll poke holes in the bags.
  • Have each child walk around the table to layer their own ingredients in the bag, pass each child a fork and dig in!.
  • Simply toss out the bag when they are done.

Tips:

  • Use a large resealable bag to ensure there's enough space for all the ingredients. This will also make it easier to mix and toss the ingredients together.
  • If you're using raw meat, make sure to cook it thoroughly before adding it to the bag. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • If you're using frozen vegetables, make sure to thaw them before adding them to the bag. This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming too icy.
  • Add your favorite seasonings and spices to taste. This is a great way to customize your taco to your liking.
  • Be careful not to overfill the bag. You should leave some room at the top so that you can easily shake the bag to mix the ingredients together.
  • If you're using a microwave to cook your taco, make sure to pierce the bag several times with a fork before microwaving. This will help to prevent the bag from exploding.

Conclusion:

Taco in a bag is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover ingredients, and it's also a fun and interactive meal for kids. With a little planning, you can create a taco in a bag that's perfect for your taste buds.
