For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely chopped jalapeño to the mixture. Feel free to adjust the amount of vinegar to your taste preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more if desired. Curtido can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavor will continue to develop over time.
