Salsa & Guacamole Showdown

Spice up your next team event with our Salsa & Guacamole Showdown. Teams compete to chop, mash, and mix their way to flavor-packed victory, all set to vibrant Latin-themed music. It’s part culinary challenge, part fiesta, and 100% delicious fun. Perfect for groups who love a little friendly competition and a lot of chips!

Whether you’re a salsa pro or a first-time guacamole maker, teams come together to craft their culinary creations and pitch them to an American Idol-style panel of judges. But it’s not just about taste—teams also showcase their marketing savvy with a branded restaurant poster and a short skit to bring their concept to life.

Along with walking away with some new cooking tips, teams will also learn fun facts about the history of salsa and guacamole while solving Southwestern trivia for additional points. This program works beautifully as an appetizer or a flavorful companion to your existing lunch or dinner plans.

Looking to elevate your event? Margaritas optional, fun guaranteed!

Thanks again “Nation” for a fantastic session. It was great to get to know each other with such a fun and challenging event. The entire team participated in Igniting Peak Performance enthusiastically. Starting out as a pure competition and then to see the finale where teams worked together to beat the overall time was outstanding! The biggest takeaway from the activity today was that teams sharing best practices and working together elevate each other!

Our leadership team held our first face to face in over three years. Ray and the Team Building Nation team facilitated a Bike Build charity event that was unforgettable. The energy in the room with the different activities on the iPad were awesome and engaging. The icing on the cake was being able to hear from the local charity group that received the bikes.

Wanted to pass along that your facilitator was really great! She kept everyone laughing and having a great time during the entire session. In It To Win It was the perfect ending to a busy day online and it really helped the team to de-stress for an hour or so. Job well done!

We are so glad we chose “Nation” and the Bike Building activity. It was great that our in-house team and our remote employees around the country were all able to participate in the event. We typically give back to local charities but putting the bikes together made everyone feel more involved. Feedback was great!

I can’t thank you guys enough for a well executed program. The Virtual Team iHunt event was just what we needed to break things up a bit and reenergize our group. It was hilarious seeing the pictures and videos taken during the event of everyone scavenging in and around their houses. Thanks for a good time!
