Open a small bag .99 size of Tostito brand tortilla chips along the
side, not from the top, then topped with cucumber, jicama, tamarind
pulp bits, I think they are called chaca chaca, Japanese peanuts,
pickled pork skins, some hot sauce, lime juice, and chamoy which is a
fruit based hot sauce.

They do "walking tacos" around here. Open a bag of chips as described
above. Top with seasoned ground beef, grated cheese, shredded lettuce
and chopped tomatoes. Make sour cream, salsa and pickled jalapenos
available as optional toppings. Eat directly from the bag using a spork.

Growing up in Texas, High Schools would sell "Chili Pies" or "Frito
Pies" during Friday night football games, which were small slashed open
bags of fritos topped with chili and other desired fixings, and eaten
with the plastic spork.

of chips, laden with high fat toppings is a good thing.

I wasn't sure what you meant until I looked at
the picture. Horrible!

It is great football food. Cheap, quick and tasty. You've never tried
chili with fritos as a garnish? Try it sometime....

Oh yeah, I forgot... Before you open the bag you've got to toss it on
the counter and hit it with the side of your hand a couple of times to
break up the chips.
Walking tacos remind me of flyball. At one of our favorite tournament
venues (Amana, Iowa), the local Elks Club runs a concession stand in the
building. In addition to walking tacos you can get burgers, hotdogs,
grilled chicken sandwiches, nachos. My son is famous there for
consuming 7 hotdogs (the eighth was on the house). He was 9 at the time.
In the morning they have tornados - eggs and sausage and cheese wrapped
in some sort of greasy, crunchy shell. Kind of like a taquito or a
flauta, I guesss. They usually have some kind of eggy strata thing,
apples and oranges and bananas, and on Sunday morning they have "all you
can eat" pancakes with juice, milk coffee or soda for $5. I personally
find it impossible to consume $5 worth of pancakes but it's still well
worth it because it's so nice to have food available on-site.
