I used this recipe for camping this past weekend. Wow! We loved it. I only had corn chips, taco meat, salsa, cheese, and shredded lettuce set out but it was plenty. The smaller kids had theirs in a bowl instead. This is gonna make our camping meal rotation for sure! It was an easy way to have a very delicious meal while in the woods. Thanks for posting.

This meal was voted the #1 favorite of the students at my children's elementary/jr high school. To make it easier for the chef they purchase the individual snack-size bags of corn chips. Always budget-minded, I tried your sandwich bag idea. It worked great for our family and clean-up was a cinch. DH and I really enjoyed the "grown-up" toppings while the kids just ate the taco sauce, cheese and tomatoes. Thanks for a fun family meal!
