Claudia, I used dried chili peppers for this one, but I usually use adobo adobado peppers for the ones with red sauce and fresh jalapeños or chile de arbol for the green version. My favorite is the adobado peppers version.

Ben, thanks for the comment about Aztec Cake on my site. I've been checking your recipes for it and they all look great. Will probably try the tilapia one first, as our CSA folks are also selling those fish, from their aquaponics set-up. So, are the chili peppers dried? In all versions?

Perfecto. Looks similar to pastilla or bisteya. The sweet and savory always works.
