Grandpa’s Pinchitos Recipe: A Sweet and Savory Classic with a Kick

July 11, 2024

Grandpa’s Pinchitos

Cerena
This recipe is one of my absolute favorites from my grandpa. Pinchitos were a staple in our house when we were kids, and every time I make them, it brings back so many fond memories of their home. For me, they’re the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and if you add a little cayenne pepper, you’ve got the ideal amount of spiciness!
While the recipe does require some prep, it’s overall pretty simple to make, and the flavors are absolutely worth the effort. Whether you're making them for a special occasion or just for a tasty meal, these pinchitos are a family favorite that never disappoints.
