FAQs
Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?
You can prepare and refrigerate the pork barbecue and toppings separately, but it’s best to assemble the walking tacos just before serving to keep the chips crisp.
What kind of chips work best for walking tacos?
Classic corn chips or plain potato chips work well. Choose sturdy chips that hold up to the toppings without quickly becoming soggy.
