Why we love an Easy Taco Recipe Dinner Board

Of course you can fry tortillas the old-fashioned way, but when these crunchy shells were introduced in 1954, they made weeknight cooking a breeze.

Serve an Epic Taco Board on The Big Board
Setting out a dinner board is a casual way to host, and it’s fun to see the faces as the guests walk through the door. A taco board is so beautiful!
How to make the taco meat
- Cook a medium onion, and add your favorite meat and seasoning!
- Fill the taco shells with meat and cheese and bake for 5 minutes.
Everyone asks: How do you keep the tacos hot?
Easy TIP: Prepare the tacos and keep warm in the oven.
LEAVE in the oven until right before serving.
You can still prepare the board without the tacos!
Then pull from the oven, arrange on the board, and SERVE!
How to make a taco board

- In the center, place a bowl with shredded lettuce and tomatoes.
- Fill small bowls with your favorite salsa, guac, olives, and sour cream.
- Around the outside, leave room for 30 taco shells!
My Mom taught me the “how” of hospitality, but more importantly, she taught me the “why.” She modeled for us the importance of having people around our table—including messy dishes, sticky fingers, and lots of tacos.
Tacos are such an easy dish to make for company because everyoneloves tacos!
Mom also leaned quietly into people’s hearts, and nourished those relationships, both inside my family and out. And through her modeling, I learned to do the same.
I am thankful for my Mom. Her passion for hospitality is one of the greatest gifts I received from her.
So thank you Mom, for Taco Tuesday!
