Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
- 6 bags Tortilla chips (individual-sized bags)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Chopped lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
Directions
Step 1
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to medium, add the taco seasoning mix to the cooked beef along with the amount of water specified on the packet directions (usually about 2/3 cup), and stir to combine.
Step 3
Simmer the beef mixture for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Step 4
While the beef is cooking, prepare the toppings: shred the cheese, chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and set out the sour cream, salsa, sliced olives, and chopped green onions.
Step 5
Give each person an individual bag of tortilla chips. Carefully slit open the bag lengthwise.
Step 6
Spoon a portion of the seasoned taco meat into each bag directly on top of the chips.
Step 7
Let everyone add desired toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, olives, and green onions.
Step 8
Gently stir the contents of each bag with a fork to combine. Serve immediately, right in the bag. Enjoy!
