A few weeks ago I threw an impromptu Taco in a Bag/Ice Cream Sundae party. Now what is Taco in a Bag you might ask? Only the greatest invention ever! The only work required by the hostess is the cooking of the meat and the set up of the buffet. You buy bags of Fritos (next time I would steer clear of the snack size and go straight to the $.99 bags- the bigger, the better!) and then all the toppings you love to put on tacos. I do cheese, pico de gallo, corn, beans, guacamole, meat and of course sour cream. Guests then take a bag of Fritos and load on their toppings and shake the bag up and this is dinner. We always eat right from the bag so clean up is a cinch too. It is SO delicious and SO easy! Not only is it great for impromptu dinner parties, but it works for picnics and even tailgating. It is always a HIT so consider throwing your Taco in a Bag party tonight!Friday, September 18, 2009

I love it! I learned of Tacos in a Bag at Greystone. We serve these often!! YUM
We always called this Frito Pie...a favorite!
What a great idea! I'm always looking for inexpensive and easy food to host football watching parties. This would be perfect!
Pure genius yet again! Cannot wait to try this! So different and my mouth is watering! Thanks, H.
We love this! We call it Frito Pie and I first had it on the square in Santa Fe. I love recreating it for my family. Never thought of using it to entertain - great idea!
LOVE walking tacos!!! YUMMO!
That sounds awesome!! I would love to have something like this next time I have friends over!!
oh, I think my boys would love this!!! I am putting it on our menu for next week :) Great idea for when hubby is out of town! :)
Have a great weekend...
What a cute idea! I love it!
what a fun idea Hopsy, where did you come across this invention?!
kHm
What a WONDERFUL and fun idea! Thanks for the tip!
I have never heard of that before!! This sounds delicious! I want to have tacos right NOW! HAHA... HUGS
I adore them! We call it Frito Chili Pie because that is what the lunchroom at my school called.
YummY! I love this!
So cute!
What a great idea! Sounds yummy!
Love it! This would be great for book club or dinner club too :-)
We call ours Walking Tacos and use Doritos!
We do the something similar only it's a salad with the same ingredients. Lettuce, avocado, tomatoes and/or salsa, sr. cream, cheese, warm meat (or not), corn, onion, warm beans, topped with crushed fritos. You can't go wrong.
Tacos in a bag are delish- we had this for lunch in elementary school and it was my favorite day.
I absolutely love this idea! I'm definitely using this!
Had these with the grandsons last night. When we pour the Fritos on a plate, then top them we call them Haystacks! Learned of the bag taco years ago while living in Washington State. Texas friends shared the idea. Love your blog!!
What an adorable idea! Did you invent that? Would be great for a kids birthday party or fun casual get together. Love it!
Fun idea! But I'm loving the pink and green table setup, very cute!
Perfect for game day! Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness I am getting hungry!
I worked as an intern at the 1982 World's Fair, where these treats made their debut as Petros. They were a huge hit with fairgoers who could walk around and enjoy a hot and tasty snack. Thanks for the reminder of a great snack and a happy summer memory!
You have inspired me and made me hungry, I have making taco's tonight!
How cute! I just received those Lilly cups as a gift and I love them!

I love this idea! I've had a version with chili/onions/cheese/etc. I think the taco form sounds much better.
Oh! Genious! I am so trying this!
What a great idea! I have never heard of this before....now I can't wait to use this idea-I know my children would love it! :)
Oh my gosh I love this meal. I remember this back in high school (early 80's) but we ate them with chili and cheese poured over an open bag of fritos... delicious either way.
thanks for keeping the memory alive.
That sounds like a fun party! What a great idea!
Great idea - I think this will be happening for the next tailgate party!
This is super for my teenage son and his friends. We do pizza so much I would love an alternative. They are going to love this and I will get the cool mom award!
You are sooo totes going to make some hunky hubby a happy man someday. This is an awesome idea!!
What a great idea! I'll keep this in mind for a future party idea!
what a great idea!!!! i will definitely be trying this when i get home!
Do you really eat this out of the bag? With all of the stuff on it? That sounds like so much fun! I think my son would love this idea!!!
How fun! What a great idea.
Brilliant idea. Mmmm!
You inspired me! Made taco's last night and the hubby was very happy :)
really cute! xoxox
What a fun idea! I recognize some Target plates and bowls that I have :) I also have those Lilly tumblers!
What fun! And the Lilly-ware, so sweet. I was in the 'only Lily on the West coast' (Fashion Island) on Friday and picked up some stuff for some sort of fall party...
Your new pic is adorable, by the way!
I love, love, this! Great idea for my Miss Preppy Tween's girl's night! I think ithis is a fun one for the boys too!!!

This sounds DELCIOUS!!!!
This Taco in a Bag Night is the BEST idea I have ever heard!!!!! Thank You for the inspiration!!!
