Tacos for tailgate?
Posted on 9/19/17 at 11:39 am

I'm tired of the same old food, so this game, I'm doing a taco bar. Let's say we have 80 people, how much ground meat will I need? I usually figure 1/2 lb per person for dinners, but since its a tailgate, less?
TIA

What you ought to do is exit the Ambassador exit and go to La Morenita and get some marinated taco meat and make street tacos. Healthier, lighter, tastier and probably cheaper.

Or just get a Chuck roast or a pork butt and put it in the crockpot with some spices, onion, garlic, limes, etc.

All great suggestions, but how much meat?
Posted on 9/19/17 at 11:48 am to CoachChappy
Meat, corn tortillas, limes and salsa verde
vs.
meat, seasoning, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, salsa and flour tortillas
Prolly a pretty close call.

Do two big briskets covered in the oven with chilis, diced tomatoes, beef broth, adobo sauce, can of tomato sauce, salt and pepper. When done shred brisket, blend sauce and drain fat. You can keep warm in a crockpot and make shredded tacos.

Hmmmm... well, I guess it couldn't go hurt to check.

And lamorenita has the small corn tortillas which I like.

Do carnitas or barbacoa style tacos using crock pot. Have the shredded meat, corn tortillas, cilantro, onions, limes, salsa verde.

Blanchard's food truck has good brisket tacos.

bring a whole boston butt (or 2 to make sure you've got plenty) that you smoke the night before. i don't know if i'd offer ground beef--doesn't sound as good sitting out. pulled chicken would be another option. add some slaw, cilantro, maybe some sauce, sour cream (or greek yogurt) to go on your corn tortillas and you've got some good tacos

You forgot to mention where your tailgate is located.

People, focus, how much meat do I need to feed 80 people?
Posted on 9/19/17 at 11:56 am to CoachChappy
81
Posted on 9/19/17 at 12:00 pm to CoachChappy
If all adults I would figure 1/2 per person but really depends on how long y'all eat and if you have some heavy eaters. Wil there also be snack foods?
Posted on 9/19/17 at 12:03 pm to CoachChappy
1/2 pound per person is too much. Does 81 include women and children? Other food at tailgate?
