A Menu for an Unbeatable Backyard Fiesta

Whether it’s a birthday party or you’re celebrating Cinco de Mayo, Southerners don’t need many excuses to dine outside, and a Mexican-style fiesta is the perfect complement to an alfresco setting. Set up a buffet style table loaded with a delicious spread of Summer Salsa, Creamy Guacamole, Savory Black Beans, and Roasted Corn and Poblano Salad. For the main dish, fire up the grill and prepare our Marinated Flank Steak. Then simply load up your plate, sip your Peach Margarita, and enjoy. Just be sure to leave room for dessert, because you don’t want to miss the Banana Chimichangas, best served al la mode with a drizzle of caramel sauce.
