Chili To-Go

I could be the only person on the planet that has never heard of a walking taco,but the first thing that came to mind when I heard Fritos and Chili equaled a walking taco was how on earth would you walk with that combo without ending up looking like the loser in a food fight? So of course I had to know the details. There are many recipes for walking tacos,some go by different names,Frito pie and Frito casserole are a couple examples both with several methods of preparation. The true walking taco uses a small single serving bag of corn chips with chili of taco meat poured over the top. The additions from that humble beginning are as limitless as your imagination,cheese,onions,jalapenos,lettuce,tomatoes and sour cream all come to mind. In different regions they are also known as Frito boats.
The exact origins are unknown,but some credit Frito-Lay's founder Elmer Doolin's mother Daisy Dean Doolin.
