Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl. NOTE: Jalapeño peppers can burn the skin. To prevent skin irritation, wear food prep gloves when handling jalapeños. Remove jalapeño seeds to cut down the spice level.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to marinate.

Serve with your favorite sliced vegetables.
