Walking tacos are fun for state fairs and more, but sitting around the kitchen table and eating them makes them a little more casual. This walking taco casserole is just as tasty and just as easy, despite not being in the bag.
There is everything that makes walking tacos so delicious: seasoned ground beef, beans, llotel, corn, cheese, and crunchy fritos or doritos that make walking tacos so enjoyable. And of course, make sure to include your favorite tapcospping so that everyone can customize their parts with what they like.
Walking Taco Casserole
It’s quick and easy. If you like tacos on busy weekday nights, thank you for this walking taco casserole for the same reason. It’s ready in just over 30 minutes and you can prepare the necessary toppings while the casserole is baked. (If you like the idea of one bread Mexican casserole, be sure to try my taco spasta or Mexican spaghetti too.)
Child-friendly. Tex-Mex hits most kids. What’s more, the novelty of eating a meal made with Fritos and Doritos actually guarantees that dinner will be eaten with zero complaints and pushbacks. (My taco cups and taco star key burgers are popular for the same reason.)
It is highly adaptable. This is a recipe that can be easily customized to suit your family’s preferences and preferences. Don’t be afraid to put your own spins. Or use some of the variations listed later in your post.
Ingredient Notes
Ground beef: I like to use lean ground beef (90/10), but if necessary, substitute turkey. Onion: Normal yellow cooked onions work well. The casserole should be finely cut to avoid large onions. Taco Seasoning: You can use store-bought packets or homemade taco seasonings. Pinto Beans: Rinse and drain the canned food thoroughly. If your family likes them, black beans will also work. Green chili pepper and diced tomatoes: also known as L’otel. You can purchase this type of canned tomato at various heat levels, so check the cans before adding them to your cart. I don’t want to be surprised by the baking hot and walking taco casserole. Corn: Canned corn is useful, so I use it here, but if you like it, you can swap it for frozen corn. There is no need to thaw first. Chips: Fritos and Doritos are classic choices for walking tacos, but tortilla chips also work. Split them into small (but not too small!) pieces, and the casserole is easy to eat. Cheese: I use shredded cheddar cheese, but the Mexican blend works as well, or try out pepper jack and kick a bit. Optional toppings: Sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeño, guacamole, salsa, black olives and more. If you like this casserole just as much as it has no toppings, that’s fine too! This casserole has a lot of flavor.
How to make a walking taco casserole
prepare. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and apply on a baking dish. You can also use an oven safe frying pan, such as cast iron (pictured). So you can cook the filling and bake the casserole in the same bread.
Cook the beef. Set the pan over medium heat and when it’s hot, add the ground beef and onions. Brown the beef and break it with a wooden spoon while cooking, draining excess fat if necessary.
Finish the filling. Mix the taco seasonings, beans, tomatoes, corn and water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together. The filling should be slightly thicker. Stir in a cup of cheese and reserve half of the cheese on top of the casserole.
assemble. Transfer the filling to the prepared casserole dish (or leave it in the frying pan if it is safe for the oven). Add a uniform layer of chips on top and follow with the remaining cheese.
bake. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until the cheese melts and foams.
Finish it. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes, then add your favorite toppings and serve.
Easy recipe variations
Veg it up. Add diced peppers to the onion and ground beef, and incorporate another vegetable into the mix. Make it meatless. Make this walking taco casserole vegetarian using your favorite fake ground beef instead of meat. You can also omit or add meat if necessary. The layer of the rebone is also good. Inject with heat. Add cayenne with taco seasonings and kick it even more. If not all of your family can agree on the heat level, you can simply serve a casserole with hot sauce on the sides.

Refrigerated/Frozen: Leftovers can be stored in a fridge airtight container for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Go ahead and freeze: The casserole can be frozen before or after baking. If you are going to freeze it beforehand, assemble the casserole into a casserole dish, but do not bake.
