This was delish. Jessica bar snacks are usually cheap, but if the saltiness makes you order more drinks and the drinks are pricy it evens out.

Lesley- Tequila is delish! Guajillos are the second most common pepper used in Mexican cooking. So if you can’t find them locally and you plan on experimenting in Mexican cuisine, these would be the peppers worth ordering online (try http://www.penzeys.com).

If you don’t want to order them, the best chili substitute would be either New Mexico chilis or Cascabels.

But, honestly, if you can’t find guajillos, I doubt you’ll find those.

You could try to get a similar flavor by sauteing together tomato paste, a touch of ground rosemary and oregano and ground red pepper flake. I’m not sure how close that will be, but it’s my best guess as how to build the flavor profile from scratch

Not tried Tequilla :0(

Baz & son had shed loads while in San Antonio…boys night out!! but I like the sound of the bar snacks, I'm just wondering if I can get the Guajillo Peppers here, if I can't, maybe regular chilies?

Ohhh tequila, we’re there! Good flavor to the usual ‘chex mix’.

EMC, the one downside, if I may burst my husbands bubble, is that bar food is supposed to be cheap, and the whole pecans and almonds make it not-so-cheap. But since you are making this for your friends…

Uh oh. I have tequila. I finally found something to do with it besides making margarita pie….and drinking it (shudder). We’re having a party pretty soon complete with snacks and a make your own taco bar, so I just might make this–I’ll let you know how everyone likes it.
