I’m always at a loss when it comes to making a side dish to go along with tacos, burritos or enchiladas– basically any Mexican-style meal. This green chile rice is fabulous. It’s always a hit, and it’s so easy to make.
Ingredients needed:
canned whole green chiles onion butter white rice sour cream low fat cottage cheese bay leaf salt and freshly ground black pepper sharp cheddar cheese fresh parsley
How to make Green Chile Rice:
In this recipe, cooked white rice is combined with buttery sauteed onions, sour cream, cottage cheese and spices. Then you’ll layer the rice mixture, whole canned mild green chiles and sharp cheddar cheese in a casserole dish. After 25 minutes in the oven, the cheese is bubbly and the rice is nice and creamy.
Every spoonful will grab creamy rice, chiles and plenty of melted cheese! I love to make this recipe as a side to go with tacos, fajitas and grilled carne asada.

This was so delicious! I added some leftover rotisserie chicken to make it our main dish and it was perfect!
