So I figure its time I join in on one of these, although I didn't get to go as crazy as I had initially planned due to my fiance forgetting a few of the ingredients requested and a crabby baby 10 month old blocking my intention to run to the store--I had to stick to meat, pods, garlic, onions, and cheese... Anyway, I figured I would keep with the specific theme of this site: I mean, who comes to a place called TheHotPepper and only uses Jalapenos? Just doesn't seem right to me... But, I digress, the show must go on.
So I started with 3 strips of thick center cut bacon, chopped garlic, and a Butch T from Mr. Taylor that I still had in my freezer bag of goodies.
Fried that up til it was beginning to get crispy. Did NOT drain the grease, that would be a horrid mistake, considering most of the heat ends up in that grease!
At this point, I add in my last frozen red Brain Strain and a pound of chorizo.
Now, NORMALLY I would've realized one thing; That's a lot of capsaicin for ~1 pound of meat, and there isn't really proper ventilation. Unfortunately for me, thinking isn't my strong point with me having a 10 month old cutting enough teeth to be considered a shark that keeps me up all night--so, about 3 minutes into this portion of the burrito cook off everyone in the condo all begin to pay for my mistake. I'm surprised the neighbors didn't call the CDC on me; pretty sure this constituted as at least a level 3 biohazard according to the law here in Missouri. I knew at this moment that it was time for me to go get my hazmat cooking apron on to finish the job.
By this point the peppers have pretty much caramelized. Can't complain about that one bit. Nice thing with Chorizo, you don't need to add nothing else but your pods, its got all the flavor it needs if you bought it from a place who's quality is worth more than a mexican foodstamp. Although, to be fair, I did add minced onions and chopped garlic.
I'll get the rest of the pictures (including pre-roll and halfway mark) up as soon as my phone decides to take its medication and quit herping its derp.

At this point I heard the voice from "Field of Dreams" telling me "if you eat this, you are dumb.". Challenge accepted! For the record, my fiance made me sign my will before going any further here.
Not the prettiest thing in the world (woman forgot sour creme, avocados (for guac), and a few other things), but just looking at it I began to wonder if this was such a good idea any more. Although, as I pointed out earlier, I am strongly lacking sleep at this point, so thinking doesn't bode well for me these days. Time to dive in!
At this point, my entire face burned. To be fair though, it could've still been from the fumes. I saw my life flash before my eyes a few times as I came to the conclusion that this wasn't just a burrito, this was a pure hot pepper challenge that should've been video-taped and put on youtube, NOT just a forum post. I ate this thing hours ago, and my face is STILL tingly from it! Pretty sure I'll be feeling the aftermath tomorrow.
I managed to conquer the champion of hot burritos... At what cost though... at what cost.
