When the craving hits for a delicious walking taco, now you don’t have to wait until the next sporting event! We’ve created an incredibly simple and tasty way
What are Walking Tacos?
The main difference between a walking taco and a normal taco is that it is normally served in a bag rather than a tortilla shell. This means that walking tacos are easier to eat while you are active, it also means that there is less clean up afterwards!
Walking tacos are perfect for sporting games, parties or any occasion you are on your feet and socializing.
How to Make Walking Tacos
Walking tacos are actually very simple to make. All you really need to do is put in your favorite taco ingredients and seasonings along with some tortilla chips into a potato chip bag and crunch them up.
Below we have some of our favorite taco recipes that can easily be made into walking tacos.
Homemade Walking Taco Recipes
One of our favorite types of walking tacos are Salsa Verde Chicken & Rice Walking Tacos made with Success® Jasmine Rice. If you like your tacos with a bit of a kick, feel free to add in some jalapeno peppers as well.
Alternatively you can also try a Bacon and Ranch Rice Walking Taco which you can make with Success® Basmati Rice. If you don’t have any lettuce in the kitchen, feel free to substitute with arugula instead.

Which Fish Goes Best in a Walking Taco Recipe?

- Cod
- Snapper
- Groupers
- Halibut
- Haddock
