I'm confused about "crushed chili" - there are so many different kinds of peppers/chilis, and I'm not sure whether to use crushed red pepper flakes or one of the many other chili pepper spices.
Easy to make, cilantro did not overwhelm (which was good for some of our guests), but somehow the recipe sounded better than the final result ended up tasting.
