Notes
No cayenne pepper powder? Use 2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper instead. Want extra heat? Try a dash of hot sauce to spice things up. A dash of Sriracha will add a little more garlic flavor, while Tabasco will provide more tang. Or try swapping in a different variety of chili powder (paprika or chipotle both can work).
