Convenient and easy my Walking Tacos are tasty as well, but the biggest pro of this recipe is that all the kids love them! Each portion is so easily customizable and each child can make their own, which makes this great for children’s parties!
I have people ask me all the time about blogging…
Do you cook all the time? It feels like I do!
So you don’t sell anything…? No, I develop recipes and supply Pinterest with content.
What do you like most about blogging? That’s easy. Cooking. If I could have someone do everything else the cleaning, the shopping, the photographing, the editing, the writing, well, I like writing sometimes, I would give all that up and just develop recipes. Sometimes I like photography; sometimes I hate it. Likewise with all the other components of blogging, but I always love cooking.
I do love to cook.
Sometimes, I cook recipes that take hours, like Twix Bars Cinnamon Rolls and Amaretto Pound Cake. Sometimes I cook simple meals like these Walking Tacos or some people call them Tacos in a Bag.
My boys love these Walking Tacos. I like them because we can each customize each bag with our favorite toppings, making them perfect for little people’s parties. Lincoln likes just the meat and cheese. Big Daddy likes everything: the meat, chips, cheese, salsa, olives, tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. His bag is full!
Another way to serve this would be to add chili and cheese. I used to love the Frito Chili Pie from Sonic. Did you ever have those? Serving it in a bag is just fun for the kids, and food should be fun. This would also be fun to serve at a kid’s birthday party or sleepover!

First is the recipe for the Taco Seasoning. Of course, you can purchase the seasoning mix envelope if you want. I have all the seasonings in my pantry, so I find it just as easy to mix it really quickly!
Okay, now for the Walking Tacos recipe. (I just like to say that Walking Tacos, Walking Tacos…like, do you get the image of a taco walking, too? Food commercials used to have characters like the Kool-Aid man, Mr. Peanut, and the Pillsbury Doughboy.)

Everyone loved this classic throwback recipe! Great for football viewing too!

Just for clarification….you don’t really mean 4 cups of onions, do you?? Maybe 1/4 cup??
