Finely chop the jalapeno. Leaving some seeds from the jalapeno in the dip will make it a bit spicier, so if you do not want a lot of spice/heat try and remove all of the jalapeno seeds when you are chopping it up.

If adding cilantro: Finely chop the cilantro. If you absolutely hate cilantro, it can be left out!
