Canned Diced Green Chiles

Once opened, transfer any unused chiles to an airtight container and refrigerate. They will last about a week.

Drain the liquid before using in recipes where excess moisture is a concern, like when making cornbread or scrambled eggs.

For a deeper flavor, you can sauté the drained chiles briefly in a little oil before adding them to your dish.

Add them to rice, beans, soups, stews, or any Tex-Mex or Mexican-inspired dish for an easy flavor boost.

Cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack)

Corn

Beans (black beans, pinto beans)

Tomatoes

Onions

Avocado

Cilantro

Cumin

Lime

Using the canning liquid directly in recipes that call for precise seasoning, as it can be salty.

Expecting a very spicy flavor; canned green chiles are typically mild.
