Fall is one of my favorite times of year to host and entertain. With this in mind, I'm always thinking of creative ways to serve fun foods! Safeway is my go-to for all our hosting needs. For one thing, I'm able to utilize Safeway's mobile app to load all of my coupons before I begin shopping!
The stars of this nacho board is explicitly the Rojo's® Restaurant and Home Style Salsa. It's important to note to serve quality salsa with any mexican dish, it's the key ingredient and/or topping to most dishes. Rojo's salsa isn't just for chips, it's the perfect companion to any meal. Made with diced Roma tomatoes, Onion, Chiles, fresh Cilantro and spices make this delicious salsa. If you haven't tried it, you don't know what your taste buds are missing?
WHAT TOPPINGS WORK BEST FOR THIS MEXICAN NACHO BOARD?
- Corn Tortilla Chips
- Rojo's® Restaurant and Home Style Salsa
- Queso Dip
- Fresh Guacamole
- Roasted Corn
- Radish
- Sweet Mini Peppers
- Refried Beans
- Jalapeno
- Shrimp
- Carne Asada Beef
As I decided on the items I'd add to this charcuterie style board, I knew it was important to include fresh and whole ingredients. As a result, this is not your typical style nachos; guests can grab and munch, plate their selections and some will devour directly from the board! That is to say each item should stand alone with flavor and texture.
Safeway has a variety of ready-set items, so I was able to grab Rojo's Restaurant Style and Home Style Salsa as well as carne asada seasoned beef in the meat and deli departments. This certainly cuts preparation in half and left me with less prep than making every item from scratch.
HOW DO I ASSEMBLE THE BOARD TO LOOK APPETIZING?
Prepping all of the ingredients will be key for this recipe, to emphasize, prepare your proteins, dips and veggies ahead of time before assembly. To put it another way, all items should be prepared first. The idea is to cut down time of prepping, cooking and selecting once it's time to design and assemble your board!
Utilizing the warm setting on the oven will help to keep the hot foods warm. Surprisingly, I enjoy Rojo's Restaurant Style and Homestyle Salsas warm, it brings out the flavors and meshes well with the plated ingredients, try it out!
First, start with the center of the board and work your way out. Next, add chips, fresh veggies filling in spaces for plated or bowled ingredients such as guacamole and beans.
Coupled with garnish such as fresh cilantro and green onion, this board turns into a colorful and appetizing dish!
WHAT TO SERVE WITH YOUR MEXICAN NACHO BOARD?
This nacho board is very filling and if your guests devour it as mine did, there won't be room for much more other than a cold brew or these spicy pineapple margaritas! You can certainly serve items such as these too:
- Blackened Fish Tacos
- Roasted Corn & Black Bean Salsa
- Mexican Street Corn
- Slow Cooker Shredded Mexican Chicken
Enjoyed this recipe? I'd love to hear from you and be sure to pin this to your party appetizer board for your next game day or holiday party!

Not a fan of store bought salsa. But these restaurant and homestyle looks like the salsa i would make home.

I totally get your thoughts! This salsa is really good to be store bought. It's even better slightly warm if you've never tried it that way!
