[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If budget allows, I’d just get 2 trays of meat from Chipotle. Steak and chicken are probably the most universally popular. It’s pre-cooked and cut so you’re done.

If you prefer to prepare it yourself, just get 3-5 lbs of ground meat (maybe 4-5 lbs if you have two teenage boys), and one envelope of dry taco seasoning mix per pound of meat. Follow the instructions, which generally will ask you to brown the meat in a skillet and then add the seasoning and a bit of water. Take care not to overcrowd the pan (best practice is to do about 1 lb at a time depending on the size of the pan) because otherwise the meat will steam and turn gray instead of browning properly. You can do this in advance and reheat the meat later if you want.

Also, if you’re doing ground beef, 90-10 (which refers to the fat content) is the best one to use. Leaner meat is likely to get dry and fattier beef is more likely to be greasy.

PP. Apologies, saw on closer read that you aren’t willing to cook meat! Then I’d definitely go with Chipotle. This will probably be considered a catering order, so you’ll have to call ahead of time.[/quote]
