My Favorite Appetizer Gets Its Legs

Get it?  Because it's a walking taco.

But seriously, this appetizer is the next level. Mixing my favorite party food, buffalo chicken dip, with the portability of a walking taco might be one of my greatest ideas to date. It’s spicy, creamy, crunchy, zesty, and chickeny… What else could you want?

I can’t wait to make these for my next tailgate, Saturday with friends, or honestly just a random night at home.  It’s such a fun twist on the classic walking taco that it feels really special, but has the familiarity of buffalo chicken dip that everyone loves!

Tips for Making Buffalo Chicken Walking Tacos

I love this recipe and want you to love it too!  When you make your buffalo chicken walking taco, here are a few tip I recommend to make it delicious:

• The dip is the only warm component to the walking taco, so I can’t stress enough that it needs to be warm. The consistency will be that much creamier, plus walking tacos are best served when it’s cold out!  The warm dip will keep everyone’s hands warm!

• If you taste the sour cream dip on it’s own, it should taste pretty zesty. This is by design, the rest of the creamy, salty, spicy flavors will taste that much better with a tangy, zesty topping!

• This recipe makes for a great build your own bar. Set out the ingredients and let your family or guests make their own. Hosting a larger group? You could easily double (or triple!) the recipe.

• Rather than popping the bags open, use a pair of scissors to cut off  the top of each bag.  This will help you avoid accidentally tearing the bag and having your chips fall out.

• Rather than getting out your cutting board, use kitchen shears to cut the chives. It’s faster for a small amount, saves time on dishes, and you can cut the chives directly over the top of each bag.

Recipe Details

When it comes down to it, this recipe is mostly assembly!  If you’re making your buffalo chicken dip at home, add all of your ingredients to a crockpot about 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve (no need to bake it in the oven before).  The only other prep required will be to  mix the sour cream with the ranch seasoning mix.  Once mixed together, set aside until your ready to serve.

Once you’re ready to serve the walking tacos, cut the tops off each individual bag of Frito’s Corn Chips. Then, you’re ready to assemble! Start by scooping a quarter of a cup of the warm buffalo chicken dip into each bag. Dollop the top of each bag with a scoop of the sour cream ranch dip, and then sprinkle with the blue cheese and chives. Serve right away while the dip is  warm and enjoy!
