I got this recipe from a friend, but have tweaked it to my tastes. I watched his kids after school and one day he brought over a big bowl of his version of this as a thank you. I do believe he has tastebuds of steel! He used 20 jalapenos with the seeds in his! Somehow, through the burning, I managed to taste it and asked for his recipe. I made it a few times before I got it the way I wanted it. I added nopales(cactus), garlic, and a variety of peppers for depth of flavor and varied levels of heat. It's tasty, but won't burn your lips off! LOL I serve it with rice, tortillas, and cheese. Enjoy!
