Burritos have always been a beloved dish.  They’re easy to prepare and can be filled with all kinds of different ingredients. Everyone loves a good burrito. That fact is very evident in the array of burrito-focused eateries that have popped up. Chipotle, Qdoba, Moe’s Southwest Grill, and Pancheros are just a couple examples from a long list.

Taking the entire team to one of these fine establishments may be quick and easy, but it won’t be cheap. Instead of forming a caravan to transport your team to a restaurant, build your very own burrito bar! It’s easy to do, costs much less than eating out, and it’ll be an even more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Organizing a team meal does require some planning. There’s no way around that. However, a burrito bar doesn’t really need too much preparation to be a success.

Here are some ingredients you may want to include:

  • Grilled chicken breast
  • Ground beef/turkey
  • Rice (brown/white)
  • Beans (black/pinto)
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Sour cream
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Corn
  • Olives
  • Lettuce (spinach/mixed greens)
  • Diced onions
  • Diced peppers
  • Tortillas
  • Tortilla chips

 

Of course you can add or subtract items depending on dietary preferences and restrictions. That’s the beauty of a burrito bar. There are so many options available.

Regarding the preparation, once you’ve gathered all of the ingredients, team up with a couple other parents and split up the load. Each parent can cook and prepare some of the fixings. Once it’s time for the meal, set up a long table and arrange all of the food on it, similar to a buffet.

That’s it! You’ve successfully created a burrito bar that the team will love. Now grab a plate, build your own burrito, and dig in.
