This was a yummy and quick recipe! I only used the seeds from half of one of the jalapenos (I've had bad experience with them before, so I'm always cautious) and it gave the dish a hint of heat. I also sprinkled it with cumin in addition to salt and pepper called for. Will make again - it was definitely worth the effort (which was minimal)!
