I was starving and opened the refrigerator to find nothing I wanted to eat. I saw about 3 bites of left over rice and some green chiles. I cooked more rice and added a few more ingredients and to my surprise, I had cooked dinner hours in advance. And it was so simple! It’s like a slightly spicy rice pilaf. I hope you enjoy this green chileĀ rice recipe as much as we did!

Tips
You can stir in some ground beef, ground bison, or shredded chicken to make a casserole, if you desire. However, it will cut down considerably on the spiciness. When doing so, consider adding more ginger, green chile, onion, and garlic, especially if you like it spicy.
