Spanish flavors and textures come alive in fun new ways in our tapas-inspired bite, The Crackle. Addictively tasty on its own, savory pimento cheese spread lends a luscious backdrop for bright flavors and crispy textures to come. Succulent, aromatic pimentos mingle with sweety drop peppers; their delicious chewiness adding to the crunch of airy, crispy chicharrons to give this bite its signature “crackle.” Our subtle, hearty Chorizo magically brings together these different taste sensations into what is, indeed, a delicious taste of tapas.
