Pork and Bell Pepper Filling:Heat a small to medium skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and pork to hot pan. Break up pork as it browns, 2 to 3 minutes. Add peppers to the pork and season mixture with cumin, cayenne sauce, allspice, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to moderate and cook filling 5 minutes longer. Add 1/2 cup water to the pork. Reduce heat to low to keep filling warm.
Combine all Pico de Gallo ingredients in a small bowl and serve.
To assemble bar, arrange taco shells next to the stove top. Serve the fillings from the skillets they were cooked in. Place toppings in small dishes on opposite side of the stove top. Tex Mex Red Beans and Rice or store bought refried beans make a great side dish.

HOMEMADE TACOS: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE | TASTE OF HOME

From tasteofhome.com
Author Lauren Pahmeier
Published 2022-04-08

Start with your taco shells. Securing the perfect taco shell is the first step towards making an incredible taco. For many taco nights, it’s as easy as buying a bag of soft corn or flour tortillas (or hard shells, if you want to add some crunch), since most taco fillings pair nicely with either—though if your filling is particularly heavy, sturdier flour tortillas are the wisest choice.
Gather your spices and seasonings. The spices that you need for your taco filling depend entirely on the recipe you choose to make—but some typical spices you’ll see are cumin, garlic, oregano, chili powder and cayenne.
Pick your filling. When it comes to taco fillings, the sky is the limit. Beef, pork, chicken, fish, shrimp, tofu, jackfruit and vegetables of all kinds can add up to the perfect taco—it just depends on what you’re in the mood for.
Add toppings. Of course, your taco toppings will depend on the meat or vegetable filling you choose, but there are plenty of options that pair well with several types of tacos.
Serve with sides. What would taco night be without chips and dip? Our Test Kitchen tested several brands and found the best tortilla chips for dips and salsas.
