Ingredients
For the Salsa Chicken
- 4 cups chicken rotisserie is best
- 1.25 oz taco seasoning (1 packet)
- 1 cup water
- 15 oz chunky salsa (1 jar)
For the Walking Taco Bags
- Chips Individual Sized Bags
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cilantro
Instructions
- Combine store-bought rotisserie chicken, water, salsa and taco seasoning in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes.
- Cut open the long side of an individual bag of chips.
- Add toppings to the bag and serve with a fork.
Notes
- Add any other taco toppings that your family enjoys like jalapenos, black beans, taco sauce, radish, sour cream, guacamole, etc.
- You can use ground beef, seasoned with taco seasoning, instead of chicken for this Walking Taco recipe.
- Use just about any kind of chips to make this recipe. Fritos are great (and the original). Doritos and, of course, tortilla chips are delicious.
- If you can't find individual bags of chips, just add chips to a bowl and then add the toppings.
- Make these vegetarian by leaving out the chicken and serving it with black beans or another plant-based protein instead.
- Make the chicken ahead of time to make dinner time even faster! Store it in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
