  3. I made this last night and I have to tell you something before you make it. Don't get me wrong, it was good... amazing even. But PLEASE be careful with the jalapenos. I had no idea that you were supposed to wear gloves while cutting jalapenos... it made for quite a traumatic experience. Even today my face and fingers have burned. So PLEASE be careful and wear gloves!!!!!
