As a kid, I did this with burritos (not sure it's sufficiently different from tacos) and salads. And, I guess, burgers on the grill with elaborate burger fixins, but that's even less work than tacos/burritos. I still remember it being fun, though.
Most foods of that genre (burritos, quesadillas) can be filled with basically anything.
Although they're more work (because they require post-picking cooking), you can also do this with stir fry or pasta dishes, letting people pick their own veggies/tofu/meats/sauce.
Indian food is also kind of set up this way: the same "base" is used for most curries, so you can make it into masala sauce or korma sauce or whatnot reasonably trivially, and put it over chicken or beef or chickpeas or whatnot. (Although I don't yet have it, I've been told that this book has the clearest and best dish on that.)
