It's time for a fun fiesta, and we're inviting all the little bug chefs to a Imagine your tacos crawling with flavor and excitement, all served in handy bags—no plates needed! Let’s embark on this bug-tacular journey where every bite takes you to a crunchy, munchy world of taco transformation!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. cooking oil
- ½ cup finely chopped onion (Bug's favorite snack)
- ½ cup finely chopped red or green bell pepper
- ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes
- 1 lb. ground turkey or lean ground beef (Your trusty taco troop!)
- 1 (1-oz.) packet taco seasoning (Put on your bug chef cape!)
- ¾ cup water
- 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained (Little legume buddies!)
- 1 (4-oz.) can green chiles, drained
- 2 cups prepared salsa, divided (Let’s go salsa crazy!)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese (Cheesy bug smiles!)
- 1 cup sour cream (Funny bug goo!)
- 1 cup prepared guacamole (Avocado bugs!)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce (Leafy bug costumes!)
- 1 cup black olives (Buggy helmets!)
- 1 cup sliced pickled jalapeños (For a spicy kick!)
- 1 cup chopped scallions (Buggy green tails!)
- 1 cup cilantro leaves (Fresh bug whispers!)
- 12 (1-oz.) bags Fritos corn chips (or Doritos) (Your mobile taco shell!)
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Squirmy Ingredients!
Grab your trusty skillet, and heat up that cooking oil over medium heat. Toss in the onion, bell pepper, and tomato; sauté until soft and silky (if they could wiggle, they would!). This will take about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Make Your Bug Filling!
Now, invite in your protein (ground turkey or beef). Use your spatula to break it up—think of it as breaking off the legs of a bug! Add taco seasoning and water, mixing well. Cook until the water disappears like a sneaky little insect (1-2 minutes).
Step 3: Add the Bug Buddies!
Stir in the black beans, green chiles, and half a cup of salsa (let's give a little shake to your taco-walking friends!). Simmer for 5-10 minutes until everything is hot and ready to party.
Step 4: Prepare for the Bug-Tastic Bash!
Set out all your toppings: salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, olives, jalapeños, scallions, and cilantro in small bowls—like a colorful bug buffet! Now, let's crush those Fritos bags lightly (but with care!) to make room for all the bug goodies.
Step 5: Build Your Bug Bash Wonder Bags!
Open the Fritos bags along one side or the top. Add your awesome taco filling first, then sprinkle with all your favorite toppings from the buffet. Get ready to dig in with a fork or your fingers—it's time to munch, crunch, and slurp your way through your marvelous taco creation!
Fun Bug Fact
Did you know that some caterpillars can "chew" through leaves at lightning speed? They are like little taco munchers in the garden, but don't worry, these tacos are for LAND critters only!
Safety Tip
Adult Supervision Needed: Remember, kids, to ask for help while cooking on the stove and with any sharp utensils!
Final Touch
Don’t forget to decorate your taco with extra silly bug designs, like googly eyes made from chocolate chips or fun faces using your toppings! Can you create a bug taco family with different toppings? Make it a family affair!
