Make Your Own Taco Bar

I'm having some friends over tomorrow for lunch. I plan to do an informal make your own taco bar - at the suggestion of another helpful poster from this forum.

I want to do fish tacos. Trader Joe's sells this pre-marinated mahi mahi that I just love. I can grill it and chop it up. I personally think mahi mahi is a light white fish that doesn't taste fishy.

But should I play it safe and just do chicken? Boring ;-P but that's the safe choice, I know.

For the vegetarians I will have black beans for the tacos too.

And I know the true party planner would probably do both chicken AND fish, but I'm not feeling especially energetic or confident about cooking all that food...haha

Thanks!

Re: Make Your Own Taco Bar

  • I would do chicken and fish.
    You can even buy a rotisserie chicken and shred it.

    No cooking involved ;-)

  • I agree with PP, I'd also have a chicken option. I like fish, but not crazy about fish tacos, and I'm guessing others will feel the same way.
  • How many vegetarians will you have?  Black bean tacos sound incredibly messy.  I've had good luck just cooking TVP (texturized vegetable protein/fake ground beef) like I would normal fillings.  It is much easier to eat in taco form.  If it's a small gathering I wouldn't make anything special but if you have a bunch of vegetarians they might appreciate it.

     If you're planning on something other than fish for the vegetarians, I would think that would be fine for the guests who don't want fish.

  • So I did:

    chicken, mahi mahi, and a black bean/corn combo.

    It was great! The bean/corn and mahi mahi were by far the most popular.

  • This sounds like a great idea. Glad it turned out great for you!
