Kitchen Remedy How To Set Up A Taco Or Nacho Bar Recipes

TOTALLY TASTY TACO BAR

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together taco seasoning ingredients. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Saute the diced onion, stirring frequently, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in 3-4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 to 60 seconds more.
• Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula as it browns. Drain off excess grease.
• Sprinkle 3-4 tablespoons of taco seasoning over the meat and stir until coated. Add in 1 cup of chicken/beef/vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the mixture has reduced some, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer cooked ground meat to a serving bowl and set out with other Mexican toppings in an assembly line to make your homemade taco bar!

KITCHEN REMEDY: HOW TO SET UP A TACO OR NACHO BAR

Steps:

• Feeding a crowd can be a challenge. That's why I almost always choose buffet style. A buffet setup is great for serving salads, baked potatoes or my favorite, a taco or nacho bar. Taco bars don't require a lot of work and everything can be done ahead of time. Meat can be prepared a day or two before or even the day of, in a crock pot. Toppings and sauces can be prepared earlier in the day and put into containers with lids and refrigerated. Easy, easy, easy! Taco bars are great fun for family or neighborhood get together, Cinco de Mayo, or the Super Bowl. Because everyone likes their tacos made with different ingredients, serving them buffet style is the only way to go. Flour or Corn should be first in your setup. Don't forget to put out some tortilla chips. Fillings: Shredded beef, chicken or pork chili, refried beans or black beans. Topping: -Onions (chopped or caramelized) -Shredded lettuce or cabbage -Grated cheese such as Mexican blend, cheddar or pepper jack -Sour Cream -Chopped tomatoes and or salsa -Corn -Guacamole -Hot Sauces (mild, medium or hot) Green rice is also a good dish to serve with this. Fancy drinks and a light dessert would make this taco bar more than complete.
