Come on over, bumpies! Especially you gingers. The basics for a gathering at our house is: food, kids entertained (bouncy house), dessert, and cocktails for parents all the night long.

chedder cheese, salsa, lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, refried beans, and green onions.

Everyone pretty much has it covered.  I would add tortilla chips and a few hot sauces.  Cholula is a delicious hot sauce that must be added to any Mexican or tex-mex food that I eat.

You could do a corn and bean salsa! Guac, sour cream, lots of cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, bell peppers, refried and black beans, meat/fish, soft and hard shells, salsa, hot peppers.

What time should I stop by?

missyishere

I make the best guac:fact.

If there are any vegetarians, I recommend roasted cubed sweet potatoes, black beans, and red cabbage.

I just checked and I'm a 32hour 10 minute drive. Think the kids and DH will understand how bad I want some tacos?

I did one last year. Hard, soft, tostada, and salad shells. Plus chips.

Sour cream, tomato, onions, lettuce,olives, peppers, cheese, salsa, quac, beans,beef, chicken, and taco sauce.

I had plain queso, queso with beans, and queso with beef out as well as salsa and quac for the chips. We also had Spanish rice.

Oh I also had limes cut up so people could squeeze lime juice on whatever.

Vodka is a necessity, but I am considering making some jello shots. I dunno, I may need a helper...

Karschingham

What the fuck to ketchup on tacos.

I love ketchup on many many things but not on tacos...

In my defense to the ketchup. I barely eat a taco like most people. I only put lettuce and ketchup on it. It's somewhat like a hamburger

Flagged.

Hello shots at a 2 year old's party?
I kinda like it.

missyishere

It sounds like everyone has the toppings covered. My go-to for parties is a taco bar. I usually have 3 different types of meat in a 3 station buffet warmer. I make corn bread in mini muffin cups ahead of time. Tortilla bowls are always a hit since they are less messy and easy to eat with a fork.
