5. Sides That Shine
Don’t let your guests eat off sad, empty plates. Instead, spice things up with a variety of side dishes, including:
●Freshly made tortilla chips
●Salsa fresca (pico de gallo)
●Mexican street corn (elote)
●Black beans and/or pinto beans
●Spanish rice
●Mixed green salad with a zesty vinaigrette
6. Setting Up the Taco Bar
Your taco bar should look as good as it tastes! Arrange your ingredients in an organized and visually appealing manner. Use colorful bowls, serving dishes, and platters for your ingredients, arrange toppings by color, set up signs with heat levels for your sauces, and add a colorful table cloth as a flashy backdrop to your taco feast. Make sure you have warmers for your proteins to keep them at a safe temperature for consumption, and label each item to avoid confusion. If you have room, set up a warming tray for your tortillas to keep them from drying out.
7. Serving and Eating Utensils
Tacos are typically a handheld food, which means your tortilla is technically your utensil — easy enough! But you’ll still want to provide a variety of utensils for assembling the tacos as well as for the sides or for guests who enjoy a taco salad. Make sure to at least have the following:
●Soft flour and corn tortillas
●Crispy corn or flour taco shells
●Tongs for serving the proteins
●Serving spoons for toppings and side dishes
●Small ladles for sauces
●Forks, spoons, and knives
8. Making it Effortless with Burrachos
A taco bar may sound like an easy party hack, but it’s not as simple to pull off as you may think! Between shopping for the vast number of ingredients, cooking pounds of meat (some for several hours if you’re doing something like slow-cooker shredded pork), chopping the vegetables, making the salsas, and more, it’s easy for your taco party to become a pretty daunting task.
Instead, opt for an easy and hassle-free taco bar experience by having Burrachos cater your taco party. We offer high-quality, fresh ingredients that are sure to be party pleasers. From proteins to toppings, sauces, and even sides, Burrachos has you covered, ensuring a stress-free preparation process.
