One of the most remarkable and easiest ways to host a celebration is to have a taco bar party that can feed a large crowd. Who does not like a taco? I have not met a person yet, and it is like what kid does not like candy, tacos to adults are like candy to kids. We love entertaining in our home, especially for the holiday and backyard get-together. Last month the Hubby and I hosted a Cinco De Mayo party for about 12 of our closest friends. Since I worked that day, I did not have much time to prepare a gourmet meal. So, I planned to set up a taco bar and allow my guests to build their meals. Each guest can put together their delicious creation. This is a fun and friendly way to entertain. The guest will love all the options of topping and foods you have for them, and the best part of having a Taco Bar is the cost of everything. I spent less than $100.00 on the food. A lot of the toppings are homemade. I will give you some of the recipes I used for my taco bar.
A few ideas for taco fillings include:
Juicy Carnitas
Seasoned Shredded Beef
Seasoned Ground Beef
Pulled Spicy Chicken
Seasoned Black Beans

Let's get to the décor of the Taco Bar: this was the fun part of building a taco bar. As some of you may know, I am online shopping. I love sitting at my home office desk, lying in bed with my laptop shopping for home décor, kitchen items, or shoes, so my Taco Bar set up I purchase from Amazon and receive most things the next day. I am going to share how to pull off the ultimate taco Bar for your next event.
If you want to get creative with your Taco Bar, try adding your chips to the rim of this Sombrero hat. It’s a great conversation piece, and it looks fabulous on the table.
What is a party without an amazing backdrop? While some of my guests were creating their taco, my guest was snapping pictures in front of this fiesta backdrop. It is another way for everyone to be active at the party.
