5 essential steps for summer entertaining

Move over sliders, Old El Paso has a new pint-sized treat that’s the key to getting a fiesta started this sunny season

Summer is all about long days and evening outdoors — eating, drinking and enjoying time with family and friends. We’ve put together five essential steps you need to know to ensure you throw the party of the year, every time.

1 Set the scene

Getting your home ready to host your nearest and dearest is easier than you think! It’s as simple as ensuring you have the BBQ gas bottle topped up, plenty of citronella candles to keep the mozzies away and a chilly bin stacked with ice to keep those drinks cool. A fun playlist won’t hurt either!

2 Try something different

For a deliciously different way to lighten up your summer entertaining repertoire, try Old El Paso Mini Stand n Stuff Tacos and Tortillas. These versatile mini-sized crunchy tacos and soft tortillas are great for feeding a crowd or a fun night with the family.

Old El Paso Mini Tortillas are ‘boat-shaped’, so they’re super easy to fill, hold and eat without all the mess of regular tortillas — especially for small hands.

Uniquely shaped and so easy to fill, Old El Paso Mini Stand n Stuff Tacos stay true to the same great taste and crunchy texture as the regular Old El Paso Tacos you know and love.

3 Get inspired

The great thing about Old El Paso Mini Stand n Stuff Tacos and Tortillas is that they’re the perfect vessel to fill with any combination of flavours your taste buds desire. Their petite size also means you can experiment with and sample more flavours!

With Old El Paso Mini Tortillas, your imagination’s the limit. Whether it’s tried-and-true spicy chicken mince, fresh tomato, leafy greens and cheese, or exotic combos like apple slaw with pulled pork, these soft tortillas are a deliciously blank canvas for you to fill.

The stand and stuff design of Old El Paso Mini Tacos makes them a cinch to top up with your favourite ingredients. Try kicking the party off with fish tacos with coriander slaw or make the main event spicy beef tacos topped with guacamole and salsa.

Whatever your style, there’s an Old El Paso Mini to fill it!

4 Find the perfect drink

Pairing your Old El Paso Mini Stand n Stuff Tacos and Tortillas with a refreshing drink is easy. The kids will love an icy, refreshing street-corner limonada, while the adults can enjoy a classic margarita cocktail.

5 Finishing touches

Turning your fiesta into a feast is easy when your main meal is Mexican!

Stack the table with sides like Mexican corn with spicy butter, or starters like creamy, spicy Chile con queso with lots of corn chips or everyone’s favourite, guacamole.
