How much meat do you need per person for tacos?
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 many tacos will 4 lbs of meat make?

How many tacos do I need to feed 100 people?
