INGREDIENTS:
1 cup uncooked Jasmine Rice
2 Anaheim Peppers, roasted + skin and seeds removed
1 Poblano Pepper, roasted + skin and seeds removed
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro, finely minced
1 lime, juiced
1 tsp paprika

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
INSTRUCTIONS:

Place peppers on baking sheet and rub each one with olive oil ensuring that they are coated on all sides.
Place baking sheet with peppers in oven and cook until they are charred and blistered, about 15 minutes
Remove from oven and place an aluminum foil tent over the peppers to help them steam so that the skins will come off more easily.
Bring a small pot of water to boil and cook the rice per the instructions on the packaging.
While the rice is cooking, remove the skin and seeds from the peppers. Dice peppers into small pieces. Add to a medium-sized bowl.
Add minced cilantro to bowl.
When rice is done cooking and steaming, add to bowl with peppers and cilantro. Add lime juice and paprika and stir until combined. Taste the rice and add salt + pepper to your liking.
Serve and enjoy!
