Walking Tacos

Walking Tacos

This recipe was created by Bush Beans at their recipe site.  I have made a couple of adjustments for college dorm life. 

Chili Ingredients - Skip making the chili from scratch.  You can use 1 can of Bush's chili beans or use a can of chili with beans.

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, cored and finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 (14.5oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cans Bush’s Chili Magic® Classic Homestyle

Taco Ingredients

  • 1 large bag corn chips - I used tortilla chips because they were cheaper and a little less salty
  • 1 pint sour cream - optional
  • 1 pint guacamole - optional
  • 1 pint pico de gallo - optional
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese - optional but highly recommended
