Kitchen Catastrophe!

So we sit down to dinner which smells wonderful and looks great... Well it tases good for the most part too, If you can get past the scorching heat that means you might not have a tounge anymore. We could not figure out why a recipie in Every Day Food would have that kind of heat/spice level without a warning. I started looking over the recipe trying to figure out where we went wrong. meanwhile the kids are screaming that their mouths hurt, we gave them lots of bread and milk. We knew where the heat came from but it took 4 reviews of the recipe to figure out how we went wrong. The recipe says : 2 canned chilles in adobo sauce, minced. Can you figure out where we went wrong....
