The Classic Tortilla and Guac

No one can hate on a classic of delicious lightly salted deep fried flour tortilla chips served with a bit of sour cream and guacamole. The perfect accompaniment keeping things simple.

Mexican roast beef with hot sauce and spicy sweet potato wedges:

If you do not want to set up just a classic taco bar or just trays like shredded chicken burritos tray or shredded chicken enchiladas tray, you can consider keeping it simple with a roast.

A classic roast is always welcomed. A Spicy Mexican roast beef with hot sauce, poblano peppers & sweet potato wedges the ultimate pairing of savory, spicy and a bit of sweet.

Cook it long and you'll be able to make shredded beef to mix into your Mexican rice.

Serve this main delicious dish with some black beans and also garnish lettuce on the ground beef and rice to add some crunch.

Also if you want some fresh slices of tomato for a hint of freshness. Don't forget to lightly sprinkle with some cheese which would go so well with the meat.

With the wedges don't forget to have some sour cream.

Crispy fish tacos with mango salsa:

Bit over grilled chicken? Get stuck in to a grilled fish instead of the classic shredded chicken.  Add a bit of black beans and if you want to  also add some refried beans. Add some fresh lettuce or rocket to complement the fish.

Bring some tang with a great manga salsa to make the taco sing. Just add some chopped chillies onions and a bit of lime juice. Even better why not set up a taco bar with a range of tacos, from grilled chicken breast with flour tortillas to delicious ground beef with some guacamole and taco shell hard shells.

Smoky pork tortillas with sweet and spicy pineapple salsa:

Though shredded chicken is great and healthy, smoky seasoned pork makes the most amazing meat for your next soft flour tortilla or hard shell tacos.

Though to make it extra-special add a pineapple salsa with some spice like chopped jalapenos and cilantro. Do not forget to add some fresh tomato and guacamole, so it's not just about the meat.

Chilli and lime king prawns with chipotle mayonnaise:

Go full seafood. Get some king or Tiger Prawns lightly cooked. Add some slices of grounded chilli and lime pieces on the side and serve with a chipotle mayo.

A catering menu never goes wrong with a bit of fresh prawns available on the side with a great dip.

Grilled Chicken quesadillas with chipotle relish and mango salsa:

Want to stay healthy and avoid the classic shredded beef? Why not build a shredded chicken enchiladas tray or quesadillas to provide healthier options to your catering menu. Perfect with some chopped up tomatoes and onions in the relish.

Serve with a nice soft flour tortilla and a bit of refried beans and Mexican rice and you got a great combination.
