Notes

For the best flavor, we recommend our fire-roasted Pueblo Chiles.  Check our our chile page here to learn more.
Note 1:  We prefer an English Cucumber for a little added flavor.
Note 2:  EVOO can be adjusted to your liking.  Keep in mind that a little additional drizzle in the bowl just before eating adds flavor and creaminess. 
Note 3:  For a traditional Spanish texture, add the bread; for a lighter, juice-style appetizer, leave it out!
Kick it up a notch by adding a few of your favorite croutons.
