The cookalong will feature a summer-worthy spread of Grilled Flank Steak (Or Cauliflower Steaks) with Red Chile Adobo.
Whether you choose the steak or vegetarian version, do not skip the olive and pickled jalapeño garnishes. The whole dish is a “wow,” but those salty, briny garnishes will put it over the top.
On the side, we recommend Classic Mexican Fried Beans or Classic Mexican White Rice studded with Plantains.
Of course, what’s a summer celebration without dessert? We are ushering in the arrival of brighter days with a festive Mango Skillet Upside Down Cake.
We love spending this time with you and creating something delicious together. See you Friday night!
