Tapas o Appetizers to go with Tequila **************************************************
Additional Info:
Suggested by Grok: List 20 possible tapas or appetizers to go with a Tequila tasting and presentation For a tequila tasting and presentation, tapas and appetizers should complement the spirit’s bold, agave-forward flavors—ranging from crisp blanco to rich añejo—while offering variety to suit a crowd. Below is a curated list of 20 tapas-style appetizers, designed for bite-sized enjoyment (2–3 bites each), emphasizing fresh, vibrant ingredients with Mexican and Latin-inspired influences. These pair well with tequila’s citrusy, spicy, or earthy notes and are ideal for a 40-guest event, assuming 2–3 pieces per person per type. Each description includes flavor synergy with tequila and prep notes.

Logistics: Pre-prep most components; final assembly/frying on-site ensures freshness.
