Walking Taco Bake
Have you ever tried Frito pie or walking tacos? Some summers ago, my Texan friend asked me if I wanted to try a pop-up in Brooklyn, where we both lived. Growing up in the Northeast, I had never heard of, let alone tried, Frito pie.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water chili cheese Fritos
- 1/2 can cheddar cheese soup
- 1/4 cup milk 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions:
- Brown beef or turkey over medium high heat until no longer pink. Drain fat and add in the taco seasoning and water.
- Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and meat is thoroughly coated in seasoning.
- Layer chili cheese Fritos on the bottom of and 8 x 8 baking dish. Place seasoned meat on top of Fritos.
- In a saucepan, heat cheddar cheese soup and milk over low heat. Once warm, pour cheese mixture on top of meat.
- Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over cheese and place pan in preheated oven, 350, for about 12-14 minutes. Remove pan from oven and scoop desired amount onto plate.
