Method
Taco Bar Directions
Prepare the Proteins
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Add taco seasoning and cook according to package instructions. For chicken, grill or pan-sear until cooked through, then shred. For carnitas, heat pre-cooked shredded pork in a skillet until warmed through.
Prepare the Rice
Cook the Mexican rice according to the package instructions or prepare your own recipe.
Heat the Beans
Heat the canned beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
Prepare the Toppings
Chop and prepare all the toppings: shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and set out the cheese and sour cream.
Warm the Tortillas
Warm the tortillas in the oven or on a skillet until pliable.
Set Up Taco Bar
Arrange all components on a table or counter, allowing guests to build their own tacos with their choice of proteins, toppings, and tortillas.
