Equipment
Method
- 01
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking into crumbles; drain excess fat if needed.
- 02
Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the beef; simmer 3–4 minutes until sauce is thickened and beef is coated.
- 03
If using beans, warm them in a small pot or microwave until heated through.
- 04
Open each individual chip bag and gently crush chips inside if desired for smaller pieces; create a small pocket by folding the top edge (optional).
- 05
Spoon 1/4 of the seasoned beef into each chip bag, then add 2–3 tablespoons warm beans (if using).
- 06
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, green onion, and about 1/4 cup shredded cheddar per bag.
- 07
Add a spoonful of salsa and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Squeeze a lime wedge over each bag and sprinkle cilantro.
- 08
Serve immediately—eat directly from the bag with a fork or by hand.
