Originally, I saw a version of this casserole in a magazine a long time ago and it was on my list of recipes to try to recreate. If you know what a walking taco is, then you also know it’s so good and weird unless you grew up with it. So a walking taco is ground beef, tomatoes, taco seasoning, green chiles, beans, lettuce and sour cream all on top of Fritos….inside of a Fritos bag. On the go. Genius.
This is the less portable but still delicious, casserole version of a walking taco. And it’s so good. Everything cooked in one pan so no crazy cleanup. Plus you can add all your favorite toppings. Mine are lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream…and more Fritos.
Check out the easy recipe below and let me know what you think!

Hi, Laura. Amy’s mom here. My mouth is watering for this. But I am now at a senior living facility where I go to the dining room every day I still like cooking and watching the food channel and seeing what you have to say, but my RA bent-up fingers make cooking difficult. I am so happy for your success. congratulations on your creativity. ♥️😘😍👌🤙Martha Hildreth
