FAQs about Corn and Green Chile Rice:

Is this dish spicy?

I would consider it moderately spiced. The chili pepper and black pepper provide a nice kick. It also depends on the type of green chiles used. For this recipe, I like mild to medium chiles.

Can this be made ahead of time?

Yes! Prepared and cooled rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator then reheated when ready to serve. 

If you’re serving the same day, the rice can be covered and left out at room temperature.
