Are you a risk taker?
I think one has to be a bit adventurous to eat jalapenos.
That’s the trick and the reason why cheese is so often paired with hot chiles.

Which is one very good reason why stuffed jalapenos are stuffed with cheese, among other things.
By the way, if you want mild peppers, look for peppers with smooth skins.
The other favorite is similar but has jack cheese and bacon instead of the cream cheese.

But you might really do whatever you want here.
Try adding some shrimp, orbarbecue sauce.
Use queso fresco instead of the cream cheese.

Hank likes the bacon and jack (well, he would like the bacon version, no duh.)
