Mexican Fiesta Burrito Bar
With all the fixings for deluxe burritos set out in bowls, it’s no problem if one guest is a vegetarian and another doesn’t eat dairy. People can help themselves.

For the sake of efficiency, arrange the burrito ingredients in the order they’ll be added to the tortillas, starting with the more substantial rice and chicken and ending with the toppers, like chopped greens. Keep tortillas warm by wrapping them in a kitchen towel.

Bar Essentials
  • 16 8-inch flour tortillas
  • Red Rice
  • Chicken Mole
  • Shrimp and Corn Salad
  • 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • Pinto Beans
