How to dice a jalapeno

Use diced jalapeños when you want their heat and flavor to permeate a dish, rather than show up capriciously in every other bite.

To expose the seeds, cut each half in half again lengthwise.
To start the dice, cut the pepper in half lengthwise.
Next, slice the ribs and seeds out of each each quarter, and discard them. If you want to use the seeds and ribs for their heat, chop them and add them along with the diced flesh.
Slice the quarters lengthwise into strips as thin or thick as you like.
To finish the dice, slice across the strips crosswise.
