Here's what I used this time.
11
The bottled red and green chili peppers were purchased at an import store.
12
It's better if you use fresh lemon juice, but I just used the store-bought kind since I didn't have any fresh lemons on hand.
13
I couldn't find any fresh cilantro, so I used a freeze-dried version.
14
If you don't have any cilantro, you can substitute it with chopped celery leaves.
