Chili Colorado w/ Rice & Peppers

If you can find a local Mexican market, you may be able to find these chiles in bulk and only buy what you need. At the very least, they’ll have better turnover than the crispy chiles sometimes found in the “international section” of a larger supermarket. You want them to be more like the texture of raisins, ideally.

We have a homemade Spanish rice recipe in the archives, but honestly, the bags from the freezer at Trader Joe’s warm up quickly in a pinch!
