How To Adjust The Spiciness?
I love spicy food, so I love to eat jalapenos.
But some people don’t like the spice. It’s very easy to adjust the spice level in the Jalapenos wrapped in bacon.
You can make the jalapenos not spicy by removing all of the seeds and membranes. If you want them spicy, keep some or all of the seeds in the pepper.
You adjust the spice level by the amount of seeds you leave in the jalapeno.
