Walking Tacos: Crunch, Carry, Midwest Magic

On this episode of Heartland Hot Dish, we’re diving into the humble yet mighty Walking Taco — the snack that turns a bag of chips into a portable party. Born at county fairs, tailgates, and Friday night football games, this Midwest staple is equal parts convenience and comfort.

We’ll unpack the origins of the Walking Taco (a.k.a. “Taco-in-a-Bag”), explore its many regional twists — from Doritos to Fritos to even Flamin’ Hot Cheetos — and chat about why this crunchy concoction captures the spirit of Midwestern gatherings so well.

Get ready for stories from concession stands, family reunions, and maybe a few tips for hosting your own build-your-own Walking Taco bar. Spoiler: you’re going to want extra napkins.
