In setting up a taco bar, a good host knows to have one vegetarian option in the mix. We’ve come up with an unusual combination to offer to the vegetarians in your group. I’m a meat lover and this recipe turned out to be one of my favorites on this party theme’s taco bar. Suggested taco combo: mix Baked Peppery Sweet Potato Strips with black beans, Crunchy Slaw with Pea Pods & Carrots, and hot sauce. See the entire menu here.
