Tacos are the quintessential Mexican street food, and they are also an unexpectedly simple – and delicious centerpiece cuisine for a New Year’s Eve party. A Do-It-Yourself (DIY) taco party is relatively easy to organize and prepare – but even simpler to serve – once you set out your selected ingredients buffet-style.
Turn on the tunes, set out the margaritas, and let the celebration of the upcoming new year begin! Margaritas are among the world’s most popular of potent potables – tart, crisp, and refreshing, all at the same time.
When the guests arrive, they are ready to build their own New Year’s tacos – mixing and matching from taco seasoning recipes that create delicious toppings, fillings, and condiments.
The Basics
DIY taco party basics include a giant bowl of homemade guacamole and a heaping mound of fresh, quality tortilla chips. Guacamole should be the last ingredient to be made. If it must be stored for an hour or two, leave the avocado pits in the dip and cover until you are ready to serve it.
