261/366 Some Like It Hot

Compared to other chillies, the jalapeño heat level varies from mild to hot depending on cultivation. The number of scars on the pepper, which appear as small brown lines, called 'corking', has a positive correlation with heat level, as growing conditions which increase heat level also cause the pepper to form scars. So if you like yours hot look for the scars.
