Is there an equal flavor substitution for the chiltepín in case I cannot source it?

Just go for some red pepper flakes Mary Kay, the chiltepin flavor is very unique, unfortunately sometimes is hard to find 😉

I had a chiltepin bush in my flower bed near San Antonio Texas and moved away from there and didn’t bring any to grow here. Soy triste.
