A Grilled Steak & Chicken Taco Bar Will Score Big On Super Bowl Sunday

A Grilled Steak & Chicken Taco Bar Is the Ultimate Game Day Move

5-minute read | Culinary Tips

Super Bowl LV is just around the corner, kicking off on Sunday, February 7, in sunny Tampa Bay, Florida. Whether you're hosting a watch party or attending one with friends and family, it's time to level up your game-day grub. While burgers and hot dogs are crowd-pleasers, they lack the wow factor needed to match the excitement of the big game.

This year, take your tailgate to the next level with a grilled steak and chicken taco bar. It’s a surefire way to impress guests and keep everyone fueled during the three-hour event. Think of it as the ultimate touchdown for your outdoor cooking setup.

Setting Up Your Grilled Steak & Chicken Taco Bar

Planning ahead is key to ensuring your game-day spread runs smoothly. One must-have for any taco bar is fresh guacamole. While store-bought options are convenient, nothing beats the taste of homemade guacamole. To make it, gather six ripe avocados, half a diced red onion, fresh cilantro, a diced tomato, lime juice, sea salt, ground cumin, and jalapeños if you’re feeling adventurous.

Mash the avocados in a bowl, then add the other ingredients and mix until you achieve your desired consistency. Some prefer their guacamole chunky, while others like it smoother—so adjust accordingly. Serve it alongside quality tortilla chips, and you’ve got a winning appetizer that’ll keep guests coming back for more.

For your taco bar setup, use wooden or colorful bowls to create an inviting buffet station near your grill. Include these essentials for a complete spread:

  • Fresh lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Diced scallions
  • White or brown rice
  • Pico de gallo
  • Diced onions
  • Salsa or sour cream
  • Shredded cheese
  • Warm refried or black beans
  • Soft and hard taco shells

If you have time to shop, consider picking up taco serving plates. They allow your tacos to stand upright without spilling onto the plate, adding a touch of elegance to your spread.

Mastering the Art of Grilled Carne Asada

Carne Asada is a classic choice for taco bars, but it requires attention to detail. Skirt steak is often used due to its thin cut, which makes it ideal for grilling. However, achieving perfect results can be challenging without proper technique. Ensure even heat distribution and avoid flare-ups by using a high-quality propane grill.

Marinating the steak for at least two hours before grilling helps tenderize it. Decide whether you prefer the sear method or the slow-cook approach. The sear method involves oiling the grates and setting the grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the steak on the grates for 30-60 seconds per side, depending on thickness. Cut into the meat to check doneness.

The slow-cook method is gentler, perfect for avoiding overcooked meat. Preheat the grill to medium-low and oil the grates. Place the steak on the grates and let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove it from the grill, slice against the grain, and serve.

Pro Tip: Minimize flipping to retain moisture and flavor.

Grilling Chicken for Flavorful Tacos

Chicken thighs are often overlooked but are a fantastic alternative to traditional boneless chicken breasts. They’re juicier, more tender, and packed with flavor. Start by brushing the chicken with olive oil, especially on the skinless side, to help seasoning adhere better. Season generously with Adobo seasoning and grill over medium heat.

Each side should cook for about 4 minutes, totaling around 8 minutes per thigh. After flipping, check for doneness and transfer to a cutting board. Slice thinly for easy taco assembly.

Game day is about celebrating the highs and lows of the NFL season. Whether your team wins or loses, you can always look forward to enjoying delicious grilled meals with loved ones. From the kickoff to the final whistle, your PGS Grill will be the star of the show.
