The single r: a quick tap
Between vowels, r is one tongue tap — exactly the American English 'tt/dd' in 'butter', 'ladder': pero, cara, hora. Never the English bunched r, never the French throat r.

Explanation
English speakers already make this sound daily: say 'pot of tea' fast — that flap is pero's r. French speakers must move the r from the throat to the tongue tip.
After consonants and at word ends, same tap: tres, hablar, comer. The trap is contrast with rr: pero (but) / perro (dog), caro (expensive) / carro (car).
