What a tasty idea!
Just had this for 8 people sleeping in a cave!! Little charcoal grill a ways from our sleeping spot and we had the best meal that cave folk have ever had! Fueled a great day of spelunking!
This is also called Tacos in a Bag and it’s the one thing our entire Girl Scout troop agrees on eating – they LOVE it!
Great Post!
Thanks Julie! I love hearing this!!
Wow Thanks for sharing off to My 1 st Bathurst V8 Supercars n walking tacos & Bacon eggs in potato recipes will be a hit , can I print them off from this post Thanks Ray
Sure!!
This is how we ate Frito Pie at the ball park when I was a kid! If the bags are ‘tall’ I would suggest cutting them down the side. Makes it a little easier to eat.
You also can do that with chili !
Great idea Gwen!
I stumbled across your site trying to find ideas for hosting our BBQ mystery party. It is hard thinking about feeding your guests and keeping things warm and fresh. What a great idea to have them make their own! It is also nice that the bags double as bowls so there is less clean up. Very creative!
I’m thinking about doing this for my twin girl’s birthday party in August. We are doing a picnic theme so this is perfect!! Thanks, I am doing beef and chicken…
What a perfect idea for a picnic theme! I should try it with chicken too, thanks for the idea!
I cook my chicken in the crock pot…For a crowd I would use a big package of boneless skinless chicken thighs, and 3-4 chicken breast too, 1 jar of your favorite salsa(i like salsa verda), and 1 packet of taco seasoning. Then just cook it on low for 6 hours. I use frozen chicken or if thawed I add a little chicken broth to the bottom.
These would be perfect for my kids birthday party. No matter how picky the guest are there should be something that they will like. OH and Bonus is the clean up would be so easy! THANKS
That’s what I love about this recipe, everyone is happy!!
