How to make it
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Add rice. Cook and stir 2 minutes or until rice turns opaque.
- Add white onlion, cook and stir one minute.
- Stir in chilies (I use canned unless it is chile season and I can buy them already roasted), green onlons, garlic, salt and cumin; cook and stir 20 seconds.
- Stir in broth. (I prefer chicken broth but make this with vegetable broth for my vegetarian friends).
- Bring to a boil over high heat then turn heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes until rice is almost tender.
- Remove skillet from heat. Add 1 cup cheese and chopped cilantro; toss lightly to mix.
- Transfer to a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish; top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes or until rice is tender and cheese topping is melted. Garnish, if desired, with cilantro.
- This recipe may be easily doubled or tripled. For potlucks, keep warm in a crockpot.
