Notes

NOTES:
  • Ajices Dulces: The color of these peppers range from a light to medium green, yellow, red and orange. They pack some heat - Therefore, you may want to reduce the amount to 1-2 or omit completely. 
  • In case you're having trouble identifying culantro (my son did for years) Culantro is is identified by its long leaves and serrated edges.
