This is such a cute little idea. I've encountered this in a couple of other places and we've tried this with various flavors of Fritos and Doritos. I've gotten in the habit of saving some of the snack size bags after using so they can be used for making these. I love making these with the Chili Cheese Fritos or the salsa flavored chips (Salsitas brand). The same company also makes a guacamole chip (Guacachip) that would be great with this idea.

How fun is this recipe? There isn't too much I don't like about tacos and with the no clean up afterward I really can't complain at all. A while back I had some friends that made a taco bar kind of similar to this one but they called it a walking taco. Pretty clever the things people come up with.

I love frito pie. I never even heard of it until I moved from Iowa to Arkansas. We used to make it at a restaurant I worked at. It was chili over fritos and lettuce and cheese and tomatoes over the top. It's a cute idea to use individual bags. Save doing some dishes and kids would think it's fun.
