k,first of all it's hard for me to pass a recipe with the word CILANTRO in the title..love the stuff...i've made this twice..it's awesome...the second time i tweaked a little..i felt the lime and garlic were a little too strong,so i used 3 cloves instead of 4 and 1/3 cup lime instead of 1/2..added just a dash of regular salt...i loved it!..oh ya! and i haven't had cayenne on hand,so don't know what it tastes like with that..but at any rate...i will continue to make this..soooo good

Following the advice of others who have rated this recipe, I used 1/3 cup lime juice and 3 cloves garlic. It was excellent!

The lime taste was too strong so changed it to 1/4 c and added more water then I added jalapeno to the recipe to spice it up. My kids loved it!
