Good work on this! Have a great party.

Nacho tortilla chips 3 lbs., go 4 have some i
Soft taco shells 80 count
Ground beef 13 lbs. ok
Nacho cheese (to be used for both nachos and tacos) 2 # 10 cans
suggest 1 can with smallish spoon plus 2 pounds shredded cheese
Lettuce 64 ozs ok
Tomatoes diced 3 lbs. go 4
Jalapenos 64 ozs ok
Salsa 96 ozs. ok
Might add a bottle or 2 of traditional taco sauce
Sour cream 3 lbs. ok, none left
Consider adding #10 can refried or borracho or black beans
Cupcakes 36 cupcakes (6 inch cake for birthday girl)
wouldn't hurt to have 4 dozen- you can always send some home with guests
Sweet Tea 2 gallons ok
Lemonade 1 gallon ok
have a gallon of unsweet tea for any carb watchers
Water with sliced lime
about 30 pounds ice

You might consider icing a watermelon and slicing- goes well with this menu and looks so pretty
