Gather Your Toppings

It’s safe to say, everyone likes a little something different when it comes to toppings.

Think about who you are serving and what they like.

At my house its LOTS of cheese & cilantro, for everyone.

Salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, green sauce, sour cream, take your pick and add it.

Let’s Talk Side Dishes

I mean there is the classic beans and rice.

But there are so many kinds of rice pick your favorite add it or even cauliflower rice.

And beans there are 100’s of ways to make them… here I just used a can of premade beans.

Using larger ramekins, or smaller bowls helps keep wet foods from running into dry foods.

You could also serve grilled corn, which is one of my favorites!

Severing Steak Fajitas Charcuterie Style

If you follow me on Instagram you know I LOVE charcuterie boards, and they are a great way to skip a ton of dishes.

When serving a meal charcuterie style I like to start with the star of the show… here it’s the steak.

Then I add in the larger containers of wet foods or toppings.

For me it is easiest to start with the biggest items that take up the most room on the board.

Folding items when possible helps take up less room.

Smaller toppings like cheese, lettuce, cilantro, and limes are easy to shape into the open spaces.

Do not be afraid to stack items to create room.

PS you can always refill your board as people take things.

After you fill the board all you need o serve is plates and silverware!

I took this meal outside to serve it!

Oh how I am ready for outdoor dining season.
