Notes
Heat Factor: Mild-Medium. The cheeses really tamp down the heat of the jalapenos, though those unaccustomed to eating spicy foods may find this spicy. If you'd like to lower the heat factor, core the jalapenos before cooking with them. For a spicier dish, incorporate your favorite spicy powders and/or peppers with more fire to them.
