5 Tips for a Successful Taco Bar

  • Pre-Cut Bags: Use scissors to snip the tops off all bags before the rush starts.
  • Spoons Required: Do not buy forks! Spoons are essential for getting the last bite.
  • Keep it Hot: Use a Crockpot (or dutch oven if camping) to keep the meat warm.
  • Variety: Offer both Fritos and Doritos to please everyone.
  • Clean Up: Simply toss the bags in the trash. No plates to wash!
