These are niblets you’ll want to nibble on all night! Taking the corn off the cob and putting it in a glass makes for a gleaming show of colours. We treated the snow crab claw as a garnish—a little pop of pink under the white crumble of queso fresco (a mild, fresh cheese) or feta.

Black Beans and Rice
In some Latin American countries, the hearty combo of rice and beans is known as casamiento, or marriage, because these two ingredients are made for each other. A base of fried garlic, onions and jalapeño pepper deepens the flavour and anchors the seasoning of ground coriander, cumin and turmeric.

Chicken Tacos with Lime and Watermelon
This time-saver taco makes use of rotisserie chicken and wheat tortillas, which are both easy to find at grocery stores. Taste layers are built up with sweated onions and strips of watermelon bathed in lime, while sour cream smooths it all out. The radish is the exclamation mark, as in wow!

Grilled Beef Tacos with Sweet Potatoes
This taco is designed for maximum flavour—and efficiency! We put the barbecue to work double-time: The sweet potato steams in foil (guests can smash their own) and the meat goes on the grill. The marinade—lime, Tabasco, soy sauce and a touch of cayenne—is a salty counterpoint to the soft and tender components.

Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa
The bright fruity punch of fresh salsa brings out the juiciness of the shrimp, which can be done in a pan or a la plancha. (Chopping them into thirds makes the shrimp more hand-food-friendly—your tabletop will thank us.) Stress reliever: This filling works hot or at room temperature, so no rush.

Fish Tacos with Tomatillo Salsa
You can’t stop, won’t stop for the contrast of soft white fish (go for sole, tilapia or haddock) against the fresh crunch of a simple slaw. Green onions that are pan-fried to an almost blackened state take the flavour to mic-drop taco territory.

Watermelon Agua Fresca
Agua fresca, Spanish for cool water, are two words you want to hear on a hot night—or, in this case, cool watermelon. Lime and sugar supercharge the naturally refreshing taste of the fruit into pure chilled liquid sunshine. Tequila shot optional!

Veggie Tacos with Melty Cheese
Barbecue-roasted poblanos or green bell peppers have a smoky bite
over an easy-melting cheese and unexpected pings of pomegranate. What grounds this veggie option with an earthy crunch is roasted pumpkin seeds spiced with cocoa, cinnamon and smoked paprika—our nod to Mexico’s dark mole sauce.
