Notes
This is a template rather than a recipe. Think of Mexican flavors you love (I love tajín!), and run with it! You don't need to make homemade salsas; there are many excellent commercial brands. You can buy tajín or make your own.
As with any charcuterie board, the nutrition will be very dependent on the specific items on the board, and how much people eat. The nutrition facts for this particular post are not going to be accurate, so I didn't run them.
