[CH] Fiery Finger Foods

Hi All --

I am going to a dinner party on Thursday night with a "Mexican" theme.
There will be about 15 people there -- my wife and I will be the only
"confirmed" chile heads and there will be two or three others who enjoy
"spicy" foods.  That said, the hostess has asked me to bring a "hot" dish
because most of what she is making (and what others are bringing) will be
very mild (hence the quotation marks above).  I told her I would bring some
munchies -- any ideas?  My criteria are roughly thus:

1.  Hot, but not too hot -- i.e., I am NOT bringing habanero poppers dusted
with Jim's powder and dipped in Krakatoa (delicious as that may sound);
2.  I would like to bring finger food -- i.e., something that you can pop in
your mouth directly off of the plate as opposed to a chip and
dip/salsa/guacamole type of setup (although, if I have to resort to this, I
will live); and
3.  Ideally, I can do most of the work in advance since I will be going to
the party immediately after work.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Matt
