How To Make chile and cheese rice

  • Step 1
    Heat the oil in a medium-size heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Add the rice and cook until the rice is opaque, about 10 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Stir in the water and the corn kernels, then season the water with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about for 15 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Preheat a broiler. Using a fork, fluff the rice and stir in the chopped poblanos.
  • Step 5
    5. Transfer the rice to a 7 by 10-inch baking dish. Drizzle with the sour cream and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Broil until the top is browned in spots and the cheese has melted, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Remove from the oven and serve.
