Walking Taco

Come one come all for tonight blog readers we are munching on carnival food!

From the lights to the rides, from Britney Spears Circus to The Devil's Carnival Who doesn't love a good carnival? Besides all the lights and lure of the festivities there's amazing food to par take in at carnival's/fairs. Everything from funnel cakes (a personal fave of your blog mistress) to cotton candy. Pretty much if it looks amazing and delish then you'll see it at your local carnival/fair. So that bring us to tonight's dish. It's my pick and we're going with the walking taco. Ah yes, this yummy concoction that is genius. Your favorite toppings from tacos on a bag of Fritos? Hells yes. Let's get to it shall we?

Here what you'll need:


Walking Taco
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:
*1 lb ground beef
*1 packet taco seasoning mix
*tomato, chopped
*lettuce, shredded
*onion, chopped (I use tops of green onions)
*black olives, sliced
*shredded cheese (Mexican blend, cheddar, colby...whatever works for you)
*sour cream
*taco sauce or picante sauce
*individual lunch-sized bags of corn chips (We use Fritos)

Directions:
*Brown ground beef, drain, return to pan.
*Add Taco seasoning mix according to directions on packet.
*TO ASSEMBLE: Carefully open a bag of corn chips along the sealed direction being careful not to"tear" the bag (because it is your bowl!!).
*Add whatever your heart desires.
*Be careful not to fill bag to full as it will be hard to mix it up.
*Stick a fork in it and take off!

WW Points: *16 Points per serving



This was a home run! It's got everything you'd want in a taco but in a more convient way. Which is awesome by me.




Tid Bits:
*For our Vegetarian pals out there (Hi, Judi!) use morning star crumbles or Boca burgers in place of the meat.
*You can use tortilla chips, Dorito's, or frito's




Ma's Spot: Tonight's dinner was very delicious, filling, and easy clean up after the meal. It would be great for any kind of party. Graduation, kids, or even an adult party. The toppings you can put in the bag are endless. It is so easy to enjoy this dinner. So try it you'll love it.




*SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which are not. Let's get to this week's pick:

WW Points: 5 per serving



Dinah:This week we bring you the Chocolate Cracker Creations by LANCE. I'm not even going to waste my typing skills on this one. These aren't that tasty and coming in at 5 points seems a bit high for my taste. I could think of other things I'd rather use 5 points on and these aren't one of them.


Ma: Unlike my daughter I LOVED these granola crackers. My favorite are the peanut butter ones. I enjoy them they would taste great with an ice cold glass of milk. So if you like granola and chocolate or peanut butter these are a snack for you. I think they would be great for your kids to snack on. I have bought them before and I will continue to buy these.



That's all folks, we'll see you here in 7 days for the next yummy dish. Have a great week guys!
