Hi Bart – thanks for your comment! My recipe calls for 2-3 canned pickled jalapeno peppers from ONE jar or can, not 2-3 full cans of them, so I think that’s where the problem lies! I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear. I like things spicy but wow, that would be way too hot even for my tastes! The addition of canned chipotle peppers is nice, but if you try this again, I would use those in place of, rather than in addition to, the chipotle powder I call for in the dish. One thing that is always good with spicy things is to err on the side of caution, because you can always add more pickled chilies, or chipotle, at the table. Thanks again, and I hope if you try this again it’s more palatable!

I tried your borrachos recipe and it turned out way too hot and I wonder why. I used one 7 ounce can of pickled jalapeños (you called for 2-3 cans), 1/3 of one 7 ounce can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and a teaspoon of chiptole chilli pepper.

After 45 minutes of cooking I noticed that the jalapeños and chipotle peppers had the seeds in and took them all out but it was too late.

Do you have any ideas on which of my ingredients was too hot?

Just made a pot….holy goodness!
I have been wanting to make this recipe since you first posted it….now I want to kick myself in the arse for waiting so long! I used some Santa Maria Pinquitos from Rancho Gordo and they worked just great.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
