How Much Fiesta Ham Is Needed for a Party?

Planning the Perfect Fiesta Feast: Don’t Let the Ham Run Out!

Picture this: your guests arrive at your party, excited, chatting, and laughing. You’ve got the drinks flowing, the music bumping, and the decorations are on point. But wait—did you buy enough Fiesta ham? No one wants to be the host with empty platters and hangry guests! Let’s make sure your party has just the right amount of ham to keep everyone happy and satisfied.

The Perfect Amount of Fiesta Ham for Your Party

When it comes to Fiesta ham, there’s a simple formula you can follow to make sure you don’t overdo it—or run out. For each guest, you should plan on serving around 1/2 to 2/3 pound of ham, depending on the size of the crowd and what other food you’re serving.

Here’s the Breakdown:

• For small gatherings (around 10 people), aim for about 5-6 pounds of Fiesta ham.
• For medium parties (20-30 people), aim for 10-15 pounds of ham.
• Big bash coming up? For 50 or more, plan for 20-25 pounds of ham.

Adjust According to the Menu

If you’re serving a variety of dishes—tacos, guacamole, salads, and even dessert—you may not need as much ham. But if ham is the star of the show, go ahead and load up on that Fiesta goodness!

Don’t Forget: Leftovers Are a Blessing

Even if you end up with extra Fiesta ham, that’s a win! Leftover ham can be used in sandwiches, salads, or even a ham-and-cheese omelet the next day. Who doesn’t love a tasty leftover?

Ready to Party with Fiesta Ham?

Now that you’ve got the perfect ham plan, it’s time to enjoy your Fiesta. The only thing you need to worry about is whether to serve your guests their ham with a side of salsa or with a side of smiles. Either way, they’ll love it!
