   NOTES: Ajices Dulces, also known as cachuchua or ajicitos, are tiny peppers with only a hint of heat. They look similar to scotch bonnets or habaneros, so don't get them confused! If you cannot find them , use a little more cilantro and a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.

5. 5

   NOTE: Culantro has long tapered leaves with serrated edges. If you cannot find it, just leave it out.
