⏳ Ready in 15 minutes | 🍽 Serves 6

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground protein (beef, pork, turkey, or tofu for a vegan option)
  • ½ jar of Hess Street Foods Chorizo Paste
  • Individual snack-sized bags of corn chips (Fritos, Doritos, or similar)
  • Toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped red bell pepper, jalapeños, green onions, hot sauce — get creative!

Instructions:

1. MIX – HEAT – SERVE

In a bowl, mix 1 lb of ground protein with half a jar of Hess Street Foods Chorizo Paste until well combined.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil if needed, and cook the chorizo mixture for 8–10 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.

2. Build Your Walking Tacos

Open a bag of chips (carefully — don’t crush them!). Spoon in a generous scoop of your cooked chorizo.

3. Top It Off

Add your favorite toppings:
🧀 Shredded cheese
🌶️ Jalapeños
🍅 Chopped bell peppers
🥄 Sour cream or dairy-free yogurt

4. Grab a Fork & Enjoy!

These easy Mexican appetizers are ready to eat straight from the bag — no plate needed! Perfect for picnics, tailgates, family nights, or anytime you're craving something nostalgic and flavorful.


Pro Tip: Use tofu or your favorite mushrooms & walnuts mix for a delicious vegan Mexican walking taco — just as bold, none of the meat.


Buen Provecho!
