Taco Bar

At our last get together, we had a Mexican food night.  We set up a taco bar, and also served 7 Layer Taco Dip, Pico De Gallo, chips and beer.  It was amazing and so much fun.  It was all laid out on the table and served family style. Perfect evening!

So, I made the tacos with 93% lean beef and homemade taco seasoning.  The beef was amazing.  Mr. W pointed out that it had great flavor and perfect color.

We laid out all the toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, sour cream, refried beans, spicy rice, salsa verde and red chili sauce.  It was so much fun and such great food.  Hope you enjoy!
