Taco-in-a-Bag: Heaven-in-your-Hand

Picture (C) Chicalookate

I love this recipe (especially the part about making a taco in a bag) and it couldn't be easier:

Taco in a Bag

Ingredients
Makes: 4
  • 455 g lean ground beef or the meat substitute of your choosing
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 4 (2.5 ounce) packages corn chips
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 chopped fresh tomato
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 10 mins
1.
Place ground beef in a large skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until browned. Drain excess oil. Mix in the taco seasoning and prepare according to the directions on the package.
2.
With the bags unopened, gently crush the corn chips. Snip the corners off the bags using scissors and slit open the bags along the side edge. Spoon equal amounts of the beef (or seitan) mixture, lettuce, tomato, Cheddar cheese, salsa and sour cream into the bags on top of the crushed chips. Serve in the bag and eat using a fork.
 
And you're done!  So simple!
