Walking taco

What is it? A bag of Doritos with taco ingredients (ground beef, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and pico de gallo) tossed in.

Where is it? Tad’s Bodacious Burrito at the main food court at Century II

How much is it? $7

Should I eat it? Yes. The novelty of eating a deconstructed taco out of a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos is enough to sell the dish; it also helps that the ground beef is well-seasoned and otherwise yummy. The Doritos chips, near the bottom of the taco, were rather soggy before I got to them, but the nacho cheese seasoning did well to help flavor everything else around them. Just be wary of actually walking around with this dish – it’s perhaps best eaten sitting down.
