There’s a little math and a lot of mouthwatering flavor in this simple dinner recipe. The creamy cilantro and lime sauce would taste terrific with rice or egg noodles.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 1/2 cup cubed pepper jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions
