Used my own rice. The chipotle adds great flavor. Parboiling for 20 is too long though. Peppers turned out mushy after 10 minutes. Next time I think I'll just steam them.

this was a great dish.. I used my own spanish rice recipe the day before and had some leftover, so I used it instead of the packaged stuff called for. This turned out very well, and I think it would make a great casserole or side dish without the peppers for those who don't like them.
