These chicken eyeball tacos are so fun! They’re a great main dish for your Halloween party.

Taco and nacho bars are usually a great option for parties. Let your guests put together their own plates with the ingredients they want and let them eat as much as they want. They can customize based on whatever they are in the mood for at the time. That’s exactly what we’re doing here, we’re just making the taco meat into taco seasoned meatballs and using taco toppings to make them look like eyeballs!

Your guests will be able to dance the night away while snacking on nutritious Halloween themed snacks.
