We LOVE tacos in my house- chicken tacos, beef tacos, bbq tacos...you name it, we like it. I think taco bars are fun and festive, plus they’re super easy to pull together in a flash.
Here are my basic taco bar toppings:
Shredded cheese
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Onion
Fresh cilantro
Limes
Avocado
Pickled jalapenos
The great thing about a taco bar is that it can whatever YOU want. Add kimchi to the menu...throw in some black beans...go nuts and make a mango salsa to toss into the mix!
Pro-Tip: if you’re buying lettuce and tomatoes for a taco bar, why not have BLTs on the menu for another night that week? Use all your ingredients up and keep everyone full and happy :)
I love tacos too and they are a great way to use up leftovers. If you cooked a pot roast or had pulled pork over the weekend and there's just a smidge leftover you can reinvent that with taco seasoning and a pile of vegetables on a tortilla! Remember the old SNL skit, "tortilla, meat, and cheese" - if you have those things you've got dinner!
