Some ideas for Taco night ?

So I'm having 3 couples for dinner on Sat. night and was thinking of having Taco night. Some sangria, etc.

Any ideas for some unusual side dishes or toppings ?

Re: Some ideas for Taco night ?

chipotle ranch sauce... like what they serve at Moe's!
Dh loves when i make that with tacos!

nachos on the side?
mexican pizzas
beans on tacos are also a nice addition!
definitely sangria!
margaritas!

Not unusual but I'd say:
Chopped cilantro
sliced lime
Guacamole
Sliced avocado
Pico de gallo
Tomatoes
lettuce
sour cream
chopped raw onion
cheese
refried beans

I'd do ground beef, ground turkey and shredded chicken for the meat fillings. You could also consider having sauteed mushrooms and onions in case folks want it without meat?

oooo, I LOVE the shredded chicken idea.... and def margaritas.

Thanks.

I do taco night with friends and family too! I like sauteed onions and sauteed mushrooms. Black olives, and guacamole are a must also.

Lipton has a Mexican Rice package that is really good. Everyone loves when I make that for taco night.

Others like the refried beans which is basically open a can and reheat it. So easy.
