LARGEST WALKING TACO ATTEMPT | 12LBS (5.4kg) | JOEY CHESTNUT EATS

Normally, I would be participating in a taco-eating challenge on National Taco Day but this year’s event has been cancelled. Taking matters into my own hands, I decided to create and chow down on the world’s largest walking taco.
When I was in middle school I’d go to the 7-Eleven and get a bag of Doritos. I’d go to the free chili and nacho cheese at 7-Eleven and I’d use that. The guy would eyeball me when I was taking the chili and cheese but the sign said it was free.
In my latest KZbin video, I'm cooking the beef and then assembling an 12-pound walking taco, including:
- Two pounds of Doritos
- Three pounds of ground beef
- Two pounds of cheese
- One and a half pounds of salsa
- Onions
- Six avocados
- Sour cream
- My Green Hatch and Jalapeno Sauce
I consumed the 12-pound concoction in 38 minutes, 42 seconds and ended National Taco Day with a beer, belly rub and nap.
That was an epic walking taco.
Try my wing sauces and mustard!

I was not disappointed. All 6 sauces tasted great. The Boardwalk Coney sauce however for hot dogs is off the charts delicious !! I already bought and sent to other family members. I will be buying all six sauces going forward as long as they are sold. Please get them available at Publix grocery stores 😁
