Cook ground beef in large skillet. Add Taco seasoning per package instructions. (If using Chicken, cook chicken whole. Let cool slightly and shred by hand. Return to skillet and add taco seasoning per package instructions). You may refrigerate the taco meat (or chicken) until your party. To reheat, add water until you reach the desired consistency.
Place meat in crock pots (on warm setting) for serving. Arrange additional items on your buffet table. If your party will last several hours, place the cold items (in bowls) in a larger bowl of chopped ice.
