Looking for a delicious and easy way to serve fajitas for a crowd? Look no further! This is one of the best Mexican food buffet ideas. Simply, put together a big Fajita Platter for your guests to share.
There are several ways to prepare fajitas. You can marinate your meat in our signature Chipotle Paste, before cooking. Alternatively, you can sprinkle your veggies and meat with Gran Luchito Smoky Chipotle Fajita & Taco Mix inside your hot pan. If you like a nice sauce for fajitas, then Gran Luchito Red Fajita Simmer Sauce is the winner.
Once you have cooked your fajitas, present them on a large platter. Heat your Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps present them on a smaller separate plate and cover them with a tea towel to keep warm.
Next, prepare your toppings. Gran Luchito Jalapeno & Pineapple or our Fire Roasted Serranos come in handy here. Others include our recipes for Homemade Guacamole, Avocado Crema, and Chipotle Crema. Finally, add some freshness with a jar of Gran Luchito authentic salsa such as smoky Chipotle Salsa or zingy Tomatillo Salsa. Oh and don’t forget the limes to squeeze and fresh coriander!
Gran Luchito Mexican
Mexican snacks are popular finger food such as empanadas, tamales, taquitos, quesadillas, molletes, tostadas, and dips with corn tortilla chips.
All of the snacks above would be great to serve at a Mexican fiesta, as well as a big taco or fajita spread, so that your guests can help themselves and everyone can share.
The food of course! But no seriously, the food is a very important part. Alongside food you will need a pitcher of margaritas, a good crowd, Latino music, a solid bold colour scheme, and you can always add some sombreros, Mexican flag toothpicks, a cactus centrepiece and a piñata!
Check out our Mexican Snacks page, this will give you loads of ideas on what to serve with tacos. In a nutshell, lots of Mexican finger food! For inspiration on what to serve inside tacos, check out our Tacos page.
Why not make one of our Mexican party food recipes and take that along. It would go down a storm! A very thoughtful touch too.
