How many tacos do I need to feed 100 people?
For 100 people I would make sure you have enough shells so each person can make 4 tacos each. Women won’t eat as much as men and teens do but the extra per person is a good way to calculate this one. Normally for 100 shells they say you should cook 25 pounds of meat.
How many tacos will 1lb of meat make?
Men actually usually eat 2 or 3 and women seem to usually eat 2 tacos. So 1 pound of raw ground meat will make about 9 tacos.
How much meat do I need for 300 tacos?
Roughly 40 pounds of meat would be needed to make an estimated 300 tacos.
How many tacos will 3 pounds of meat make?
Although the standard is 3 tacos per person, folks tend to be a bit generous when filling their own tacos so caterers calculate 2 tacos per person for taco bars. One pound (16 ounces) of 80/20 raw ground beef, pan browned and drained, will equal 12 ounces of cooked ground beef.

How much ground beef do I need?
In general, we call for 1 pound of ground beef to make 6 sandwiches in our sloppy joes recipes. That works out to 3 ounces of ground beef per sandwich. Depending on the size of your bun and how meaty you like your sandwich, you can increase or decrease that amount an ounce or two either way.
