While replicating the exact recipe might not be possible due to proprietary seasoning and methods, here’s a recipe inspired by the concept:

Ingredients:

For the seasoned beef:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water

For the Doritos taco shell:

  • Regular-sized Doritos Nacho Cheese flavor
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For assembly:

  • Shredded lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Sliced jalapeños (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the seasoned beef by cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
  3. To make the Doritos taco shell, carefully open a bag of Doritos and crush them slightly while still inside the bag. Alternatively, transfer the Doritos to a large resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Take a handful of crushed Doritos and shape them into a taco shell, pressing firmly to compact them. Carefully place the shell into the hot oil and fry for about 30-60 seconds on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to carefully remove the shell from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining crushed Doritos to make additional shells.
  6. To assemble the Doritos Locos Tacos, fill each Doritos shell with a portion of the seasoned beef.
  7. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños if desired.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Doritos Locos Tacos!
