my wife's work served them "tacos in a bag" for lunch

It looks like shitty frito pie

Because that's exactly what it is: a frito pie! It's just using a different name. They're also called "traveling taco" in some places

I had Taco In A Bag for the first and only time at a (try not to laugh) tractor convention in Illinois when visiting a friend on a road trip.

I can get not having individual bags of Fritos for everyone, but the guy selling these at the convention had an entire table of toppings and condiments. They were like $2 a pop, so not a bad deal for a fair type convention.

If my job, who makes a dollar for every dime I make, served me this to show me their appreciation, I'd leave, go to a fast food place, return, and eat my burger in front of everyone.

Used to be a taco in a bag restaurant here in Chicago. I don’t think it was there long.

If the beans are chili we would have called this chili, chips'n'cheese.

I always heard them as Walking Tacos when they actually serve them in the chip bag.

They say you should walk your taco at least once a day to avoid it potentially becoming depressed from lack of activity.

….I too am a walking taco

Real frito pie takes several hours to make if you do it right with proper chili, and it should give you diarrhea for at least two days. This is just a sad abomination with no redeeming qualities.

fenwayb@reddit

if it had any heat it'd probably be fine. But that cheese isn't melty at all

[-]

wigglypigglyTP@reddit

Is that cheese? It looks like little bits of spaghetti. So confusing.

[-]

unclejoe1917@reddit

Don't rule out that it was hot and that budget cheese wouldn't melt if you hit it with a blow torch.

[-]

QueezyF@reddit

Definitely looks like Walmart brand cheddar flavored cheese-like product.

Watching people be continually baffled by walking tacos hurts my marching band kid heart. They were a competition tradition

[-]

PotatoesMcLaughlin@reddit

Oh dang, I had walking taco today because I didn't feel like dirtying abother dish.

"Walking Tacos" are the dumbest white people shit ever. Who wants hot beans and meat burning their hand through a thin plastic bag.

[-]

MsnthrpcNthrpd@reddit

Its funny because this is just tostilocos but you managed to give white people credit.

[-]

third-knight@reddit

These are two completely different dishes.

[-]

MsnthrpcNthrpd@reddit

Walking tacos are quite literally the same thing, OP's wife just put hers in a bowl.

[-]

Gorkymalorki@reddit

Napkins between the bag and your hand, because you are going to need one anyways.

[-]

QueezyF@reddit

The dumb thing about walking tacos is we already had a walking taco, it’s called a burrito. Frito chili cheese burritos are such a better way of doing it, no fork or bag required.

[-]

third-knight@reddit

100% agree

[-]

ImmaculateWeiss@reddit

I want to get fed shitty frito pie at work :(

[-]

subtxtcan@reddit

Also known as walking tacos when served in a bag of doritos (or Fritos, depends on who you are).

We serve them for Tuesday games at the Arena I work at, VERY popular

[-]

jfk_47@reddit

Can we just call it chili? I would call that chili.

[-]

Administrative-Win39@reddit

Mmm jail spread

2000Bumblebees@reddit

Why the NSFW tag if this was served at work?

[-]

DrDentonMask@reddit

I've never seen it dumped into a bowl before, much less a disposable bowl, but here we are. I've never had a dish like that, but I am familiar with the concept, which also includes Costa Rica's caldosas, which are barbacoa-flavored corn chips in their bag with ceviche scooped inside. I think I've seen ketchup, mayo and even ginger ale used to sweeten it up.

The bowl makes this look very unfinished, and unappetizing. Too bad it's not still in the bag.

LimJaheyAtYaCervix@reddit

What the hell is this..? walking tacos (what I assume “tacos in a bag” means) are shredded lettuce, ground beef cooked w taco seasoning, and shredded cheese, dumped into a snack size bag of nacho cheese doritos where I am from.

This looks like pinto beans, 2 soggy fritos, an uncut crouton and some chow mein???

[-]

ContributionHuge4980@reddit

Whatever it is she’s doing it wrong.

[-]

Wintonwoodlands@reddit

You’re supposed to eat it out of the bag and it’s called a walking taco

[-]

The shitty pizza parties the hospital gives us seem way better now

[-]

TheCosmicProfessor@reddit

We must murder these criminals!!!!

[-]

Tpbrown_@reddit

Is that spaghetti in there?

[-]

Hot_Specific_1691@reddit

Those are super popular right now. They look more appetizing in the Fritos bag.

[-]

Oops_I_Cracked@reddit

My boss ordered us pizza today, which I understand is usually clowned, but this was unplanned. We just didn’t have very many people today, so she went around and asked literally everyone on shift their favorite type of pizza and made sure there was something for everyone.
