Taco Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange lettuce, radishes, and cilantro on a large platter. Place limes, cheese, sour cream, and salsas in separate serving dishes. Place chicken and pork in separate warm serving bowls. Garnish chicken with cilantro.
• Toast each tortilla in a hot skillet or directly over a gas flame until softened, 15 to 20 seconds per side. Stack tortillas in a dish towel, keeping them wrapped.
• Arrange all of the ingredients so that guests can make their own tacos.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in skillet over medium heat until no pink remains.
• Drain fat and rinse, if desired.
• Add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions (use 1/2 amount of water if using 1/2 pkg. seasoning).
• Unroll one tube of crescent rolls and place on bottom of 9" x 13" cake pan.
• Press seams together and spread out to cover bottom of pan.
• Bake in 375 degrees F oven until rolls just start to brown.
• Cover dough with hot beef mixture; then spread sour cream over beef using a teaspoon.
• Sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with salsa.
• Unroll second tube of crescent rolls and carefully spread out over top, pinching together seams where possible.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until top is golden brown.
• Let set 10 to 15 minutes, then cut into squares.

Steps:

• Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the onions in the pan and saute until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin to the pan and continue to saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef to the pan and cook, breaking the pieces up as they cook, until the meat is browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with the chipotle pepper and the salt. Add the beef broth and tomato paste to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook the meat, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve with the garnishes for guests to assemble their tacos to their liking.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the avocado with the onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt and mash with the back of a fork until mostly smooth.
• Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap (pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole) and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
• Combine all the ingredients and stir well to combine. Let salsa sit for 30 minutes for the flavors to blend.
• Serve as an accompaniment to fish tacos, or other dishes, as desired.
