The Makers of the LA VICTORIA® Brand Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Salsa-Inspired Charcuterie Boards

ORANGE, Calif., April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- To commemorate Cinco de Mayo, the makers of the LA VICTORIA^® brand, pioneer of jarred salsas, taco sauces and enchilada sauces that has consistently reinvented flavor experiences for over 100 years, recently tapped the expertise of charcuterie board extraordinaire Meg Quinn of Ain't Too Proud to Meg to help provide its fans with new ways to celebrate this festive, annual holiday. Leveraging her unique culinary talents and the fresh simplicity of LA VICTORIA^® salsas, Quinn will create a fun, festive and memorable spread that is sure to be the talk of any Cinco de Mayo celebration, as well as deem anyone who recreates it — hands down — the life of the party.

"We're excited to celebrate and enjoy the delicious food that Cinco de Mayo has to offer, although celebrations may be smaller or different this year," said Diana De Loza, director of marketing for the LA VICTORIA^® brand. "LA VICTORIA^® salsas, sauces, chiles and peppers are beautiful and versatile products offering authentic Mexican flavor, and the perfect ingredient to help transform everyday pantry staples into a delectable charcuterie board. With Meg's easy tips and design inspiration, we're confident fans and salsa lovers will have a great time recreating her masterpiece on their own!"

Quinn shares her tips, tricks and personal favorites for incorporating LA VICTORIA^® salsas and sauces in a Cinco de Mayo-themed charcuterie board:

1. Start with the center of your board and work your way outward, anchoring the middle with a variety of salsas and dips, like LA VICTORIA^® Thick'n Chunky Salsa and LA VICTORIA^® Salsa Verde—Cinco de Mayo must-haves! 
2. Elevate dips with a touch of heat. Pro tip: sprinkle cheese dip with fire-roasted, diced green chiles and take guacamole to the next level with a few dashes of LA VICTORIA^® Chunky Jalapeno Hot Sauce.
3. To add depth, surround your bowls with authentic Mexican tortilla chips and a selection of folded and rolled tortillas.
4. Replace traditional salami and cheeses with Mexican-style ones like chorizo, carne asada and pepper jack cheese. 
5. Add a few pops of color with baby bell peppers, pickled carrots, radishes and sliced jicama.
6. Finally, garnish with Mexican classics like cilantro, Cotija cheese crumbles, jalapeños and green onions.

"I always love entertaining for holidays, and one of my all-time favorite appetizers to enjoy on Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican-inspired grazing board," said Meg Quinn. "The possibilities are endless and the key is to simply have fun. There's no denying that the true star of this dish is the salsa, which is why I love using a variety of LA VICTORIA^® brand salsas."
