Let’s make a walking taco 🌮✨

Ingredients

• 1 bag Fritos Corn Chips (crushed into bite‑size pieces; use as the base)
• 1 pound Ground Beef (80% lean; browned and drained)
• 1 packet Taco Seasoning (optional but adds classic taco flavor)
• 8 oz Nacho Cheese Sauce (pre‑made, meltable cheese dip)
• 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (regular cheese for topping)
• 1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (optional fresh topping)
• 1/2 cup Shredded Lettuce (optional fresh topping)
