I m throwing a surprise 60th birthday party for my mother in law and we decided to do a big taco bar since its right around cinco de mayo we have lovely weather a big backyard and a grill to work with. But tacos will be half as big. If you give them 1 oz of ground taco meat per person then you can halve the amount. 80 20 beef is gonna lose some weight to the pan so you might want to adjust accordingly. One pound 16 ounces of 80 20 raw ground beef pan browned and drained will equal 12 ounces of cooked ground beef.
Also buy 6 1 4 to 7 1 2 pounds of boneless chicken to provide 4 to 5 ounces of cooked poultry per guest. Although the standard is 3 tacos per person folks tend to be a bit generous when filling their own tacos so caterers calculate 2 tacos per person for taco bars. Let s say 4 tacos each again for total of 6 then the total amount of taco meat you need is. The amount of taco seasoning is calculated by finding the amount of raw beef for the number of guests and using that to find the taco seasoning needed. Browned ground beef onion and taco seasoning great for tacos or serve it over rice.
The average serving of protein per guest is 4 ounces. You could say that a normal taco is probably about 1 4 lb of meat maybe 1 5th for a lighter taco but it s usually better to expect people to pig out. Tacos are literally as easy as 1 2 3. I always like to have plenty rather than. We are planning to do both marinated chicken and carne asada on the grill for the tacos but i m not sure how much we ll need for around 20 people.
