Cook Tip: This recipe is for one tapas-sized portion, but can easily be increased to accommodate any number of guests. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of guests for a quick and easy appetizer.
Chile de arbol is a bright red, slender pepper that can be purchased dried or fresh. Added whole to this dish, it imparts a mild spice level. Powered cayenne pepper may be substituted if chiles de arbol cannot be found, or the chile may be omitted for a less spicy version.
