By Mitten Chips KitchenUpdated May 2026

Build a hearty taco bowl right on top of a bed of crunchy Traditional Mitten Chips. All the taco flavors, zero tortilla folding.

Prep Time20 min

Taco night is great until you are standing over a cracked shell scooping the filling back in. Taco bowls solve that, and Traditional Mitten Chips as the base solve it even better: a bed of sturdy, flaky chips that holds up under seasoned meat and cold toppings without going to mush. The clean corn flavor tastes like a tortilla should, then steps back and lets the taco do the talking.

Step by Step

Let's Make Magic

1

Cook the Protein

Brown the ground meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning with the amount of water listed on the packet.

For leaner bowls, use ground turkey instead of beef
2

Build the Base

Divide Traditional Mitten Chips evenly into 4 bowls. The sturdy chips create the perfect crunchy foundation.

Large bowls work best to hold all the toppings
3

Layer & Top

Spoon seasoned meat over chips, then layer on lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.

Add toppings in order from warm to cool for best texture
4

Serve Immediately

Serve right away while the chips are still crunchy and the meat is hot. The contrast of hot and cold is what makes this dish special.
