Taco night would be every night if it was up to my husband and I. We could eat tacos in every way- soft shells, hard shells, these delicious fried shells that my husband makes like a boss. We can eat white chicken enchiladas, tostada’s, taquito’s…I don’t care how you flip, bake, or fry it, you top it with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa and I am THERE.

Now my kids on the other hand? They groat at Tacos. I don’t know WHY but it likely has something do with with their in ability to eat any form of lettuce, tomato or veggie of any kind, making a taco somewhat boring. Not anymore!

Cook chili or taco meat as desired, then assemble “taco tray.” If you do not have a tray like this, you can purchase one here.

Having an easy to set up tray helps show everyone all the ingredients they can choose from and its a perfect set up for little kids or multiple tables in a larger party.

Open the Doritos bags and roll down the edge two or three times.

Keep in mind that Doritos and Fritos both come in a variety of flavors so you can really mix up the offerings for this dinner recipe!

Add toppings as desired, and eat right out of the bag!

I suggest building with a huge helping of chili, then adding all your favorite veggies, and topping off with sour cream, guacamole, ranch, and olives!
