    a black cast iron skillet of gluten free walking taco casserole with a big dollop of sour cream on top.

    This quick recipe for gluten free walking taco casserole is made with ground beef, cheddar cheese and cream cheese. This is the best one pot Mexican casserole and is perfect for dinner. It is similar to a taco pie or taco bake and is topped with gluten free tortilla chips.

    What is a walking taco made of?

    A traditional walking taco is made in the bag of chips. Most use a single serving size bag of Doritos or Frito chips. This casserole uses the same concept of being an easy one dish meal, but is made in a skillet or baking dish rather than in the chip bag.

    I topped this walking taco casserole with gluten free tortilla chips, lettuce, tomatoes, olives and extra cheddar cheese. You could substitute a different type of gluten free chip and also add avocado on top too.
