How to Make a DIY Taco Bar
(Quick & Budget Friendly)
The best way is to keep the DIY taco bar simple, really quick to get it ready and budget friendly too.
All you’ll have to decide on is what type of meat you are going to serve at your taco buffet.
You can use only 1 type of meat, preferably taco seasoned ground beef, as is a crowd pleaser or you can add some pulled chicken too if you’re going for 2 different types of meat.
