Equipment

Ingredients

10 individual bags of Doritos and/or Fritos
2 cups taco meat
15 ounces refried beans, heated
9 ounces nacho cheese, heated
2 cups shredded fiesta blend cheese
1 cup salsa
½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup jalapeno slices

Instructions

Use a pair of scissors to cut open each chip bag along the top of the bag. Fold down the top of each bag to help hold it open.
Top each chip bag with ground beef, beans, nacho cheese sauce, shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, and jalapeno slices.
Stir to mix all the ingredients into the chips and enjoy.

Notes

Tips

Warm the taco meat, beans, and cheese before assembling so everything blends together smoothly and melts into the chips.
Fill each bag about halfway before adding toppings to prevent tearing and make it easier to mix and eat.
Add fresh toppings like salsa, sour cream, and jalapeños just before serving to keep the texture balanced and the chips from getting soggy.

Storage & Make Ahead

Prepare the taco meat and warm ingredients ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
Reheat just before serving and assemble the bags fresh for the best texture.
Chips and toppings are best kept separate until ready to serve.
