Ingredients

Camping Tacos

  • 4 small bags of Doritos
  • 500 g ground beef
  • 1 store-bought jar of salsa
  • 4 to 5 drops of Ghost Hot Sauce
  • 4 tbsp Tex-Mex spices
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups shredded orange cheddar
  • ¼ cup 15% or 35% cream
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pico de Gallo

  • 2 tomatoes, diced small
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped, to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Green onions
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Pickled jalapeños
  • Crumbled bacon
  • Shredded Tex-Mex cheese
  • Black olives

Preparation

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, until well browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add the Tex-Mex spices, salsa, and Ghost hot sauce. Mix well, then simmer for 5 minutes, until the mixture is hot, thick, and well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking until a smooth sauce is formed. Add the orange cheddar, cream, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until the cheese is well melted. Adjust seasoning.
  4. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  5. Open the small bags of Doritos on the side or top. Lightly crush the chips directly in the bags to create a crunchy base.
  6. Garnish each bag with hot Tex-Mex beef, a generous drizzle of orange cheddar sauce, and a good spoonful of pico de gallo.
  7. Finish with sour cream, green onions, fresh cilantro, pickled jalapeños, or a lime wedge.
  8. Serve directly in the bags with forks.
