Camping tacos are simple to make and easier to clean up! Made as a taco in a bag recipe or as a taco salad, it’s a great camping recipe for large groups.
Camping Tacos have been a staple on camping trips for years.
The best part is that everyone can customize to their liking, and these toppings make for an amazing taco salad for those wanting to skip the chips.
I find the easiest way to make walking tacos is to prepare the taco meat at home, then freeze it. Freezing it helps keep your cooler cold and will defrost by the time you are ready to use it. Or if your traveling by RV, keep it frozen and defrost in your microwave (saving space in the fridge) or place it in the refridgerator the day before to thaw.
You can make a Doritos walking taco or use Fritos for a different twist.
First, gather the ingredients. If you’re camping with a large group, have each family bring a pound of taco meat. It can be ground beef, shredded chicken, pulled pork, or carnita meat – anything goes and adds a variety to the flavor combinations available to choose from!
Assign families to different toppings so that everyone brings something different rather than a bunch of repeats.
Here are the basics needed:
- 1 lb. taco seasoned ground beef or turkey
- small individual bags of Fritos and/or Doritos
- shredded lettuce
- shredded cheese
- salsa
- tomatoes
- sour cream
If you want to amp up your Camping Tacos try:
- Onions
- Black Olives
- Jalapenos
- Nacho Sauce
- Cilantro
- Taco sauce
- Chopped Romaine for taco salad or a prepackaged Ceasar salad mix
How Do You Make Walking Tacos?
- Heat taco meat and spread toppings out on picnic table.
- Place taco meat directly into individual Frito or Dorito bags then add toppings of choice.
- Eat with a fork straight from the bag!
