ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 large white onion, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 ears white corn, kernels removed or 2 cups frozen white corn, thawed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 2 poblano chiles, charred, peeled, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
- 1⁄4 cup Mexican crema or 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1⁄2 - 1 cup monterey jack cheese
directions
- Heat the oil in a medium-size heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook until the rice is opaque, about 10 minutes. 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.
- Preheat a broiler. Using a fork, fluff the rice and stir in the chopped poblanos. Transfer the rice to a baking dish. Drizzle with the crema or sour cream and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Broil until the top is browned in spots and the cheese has melted, about 8 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve.

Made this last night to go with Mexican Chicken Enchiladas#417053 and what a tasty dish. I followed the recipe using frozen corn, mexican crema and roasted the poblano chiles. Like gailanng I did add some cilantro and topped with some more cilantro and sliced green onions. Thank you for a delicious recipe.
