Optional ingredients:
• Diced roasted and skinned hatch chilies, jalapeño, etc)

Art Wars!
No need to work out 64 works, just select two paintings and ask preferences. Bosch vs. Dali. Munch vs. El Greco. Picasso vs. Van Gogh. Manet vs. Monet.
Frank Frazetta vs Boris Vallejo
Hunter Biden vs a dog dunking his paws in a paint can (I vote for the latter, sight unseen)
