Notes about recipe:
- If you want the burgers extra spicy, include the seeds from the Jalapeno’s
- If you wear contacts make sure to touch the jalapeno’s as little as possible (I usually grab the peppers with a paper towel), especially the seeds. If not you’re in for a painful treat, taking your contacts out at night will sting a little but putting one back in in the morning will be very unenjoyable; clearly talking from experience here, sadly on more than one occasion (see below). That, or wash your hands like this after.
