4 LAST-MINUTE Tapas for your Holiday Party | QUICK & EASY Tapas Recipe

With the holidays around the corner and time going faster than ever, I´m going to show you how to make 4 LAST-MINUTE Tapas that are perfect for your next holiday party or family get-together.

The beauty of these four tapas is that they´re easy to make, require no cooking and each one comes together within minutes. Serve these tapas as an appetizer or even as main course. Either way, they promise to be the star of your dinner table.

All four of these tapas pair perfectly with any Spanish red or white wine. For the reds, I recommend wines from the regions of Jumilla, Campo de Borja and Rioja. For the whites, Rías Baixas, Utiel-Requena and Rioja.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: These tapas can be served at room temperature or even chilled. You can make them ahead of time, just make sure to cover them with saran wrap so the ingredients don´t dry out.
