I can not believe how delicious this dip was. I was worried about it being too spicy so I halved the recipe and made one batch with jalapeño and one without. The batch with the jalapeño was not that spicy at all in fact my mom, who can't handle even the littlest bit of spice ate some. I did take the seeds out because I was afraid of it being too spicy, but next time I will leave the seeds in. If you are not a fan of spice you can always leave out the jalapeño completely, it will still taste delicious.
