Cinco de Mayo is almost here and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a Cinco de Mayo taco bar! I’ve been in football withdrawal land lately, so last night I decided to take full advantage of the NFL draft and host a party with a little fiesta flair!
I decided to go with the Cinco de Mayo taco bar theme since you really can never go wrong with tacos and it ended up being a tasty hit! I knew I wanted to do something different than traditional tacos, so I opted for hummus tacos and was surprised how easy they were to make.
I used the new Bush’s Hummus Made Easy in the southwest black bean flavor for the taco bar and paired it with a side of classic hummus for dipping. I don’t regret that decision one bit!
Did I mention that the hummus is literally the easiest thing to make!? All you have to do is combine a pack of Bush’s Hummus Made Easy with a can of beans (bean type will depend based on hummus flavor) and blend it up. See, it really is that simple!
If you’re in need of a convenient hummus recipe of quality for entertaining and serving guests, look no further! You can find these near-ready to eat packages at Walmart, but I may or may not have bought all the southwest black bean packets, so you might have to wait a bit. Sorry not sorry!
For the taco bar, I set up several dishes in a variety of classic toppings for guests to build their tacos with. Toppings included all the basics- lettuce, shredded cheese, cilantro, and diced tomatoes. I then paired it with classic hummus dip, chips, and salsa to keep the fiesta tradition going.
Side note: Usually I’m a meat lover when it comes to tacos, but the hummus tacos impressed me so much that I didn’t even miss the meat! There weren’t any leftovers, so I think it’s safe to say others would agree!
Will you be celebrating Cinco de Mayo? What are your plans!? If you plan to give this Cinco de Mayo taco bar with hummus a try, let me know how it goes!
