Notes

Assemble taco bags right away or keep meat warm in a slow cooker until serving.
Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack or Colby Jack—use any cheese you prefer.
For extra heat, replace salsa with Rotel or top with pickled jalapeños.
Store leftover meat and toppings separately in airtight containers.
Taco filling keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Additional topping options:

Cilantro, pickled jalapenos, fresh jalapenos, guacamole, black olives, or green chiles.
To scale up for a dinner, use six 3.5 ounce bags of chips.
If using a 3.5 ounce bag, add 4 tablespoons of each; taco mixture, shredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and green onions.
