These tacos in a jar are a great idea for short trips when you want to hand out pre-portioned meal serves, or quick-to-distribute appetizers, plus they look pretty cool.
The elements are the same as you would find in any sort of Tex-Mex style taco, meat, and salad. Using leftover chili also works well.
Off the shelf packet mix flavor combinations can be used or you can use your favorite recipe. Also, the salad and condiment elements can be altered to personal taste, like maybe adding a salsa or guacamole.
