These did not come out too spicy and even my daughter loved them but if you want to give them a bit more of a kick I would recommend doubling the amount of chipotle and topping them off with a slice of fresh jalapeño. To make these bite sized snacks even easier to eat you can also turn them into a little sandwich by adding another cracker on top but I thought these looked to pretty to cover up, at least for the pictures.

  1. Las galletas Ritz son tan versátiles a la hora preparar cualquier receta con ellas, no importa que se le coloque, aun solas saben genial, y resuelven cualquier apuro a la hora de un aperitivo. Estas con aguacate me encantan –no las he comido asi-
    Gracias por la receta 🙂
