Steps:
- Combine the rice, chicken broth and 2 teaspoons of the spice mix in a small saucepan over high heat. When the broth boils reduce heat to a low simmer and cover with a lid. Simmer for 40-45 minutes, until the rice is tender. Uncover, test the rice for doneness and fluff with a fork.
- While the rice is cooking, prep the peppers, onions and chicken. Warm the oil in a dutch oven or very large pot over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions to the skillet and stir to coat. Allow them to cook for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons spice mix and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the beans, green chiles, sour cream and green chile sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a low simmer. Add the cooked rice, stir again, taste and adjust the salt as desired. Sprinkle generously with the cheese. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat to allow the cheese to melt, 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro before serving.

- Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Roughly chop 1 jalapeno pepper and 1 poblano pepper; add to the skillet with chicken and garlic. Squeeze lime over mixture and add lime rind to the skillet. Cook, covered, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, stirring occasionally, 20 to 25 minutes.

- Chop cooked chicken into small pieces and place into a bowl. Add hot peppers to the bowl, cover, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel skin from peppers, remove seeds, and slice.
- Place small amount of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Place 5 tortillas on on top. Place 1/2 of the sliced poblano and jalapeno peppers on top of tortillas. Lay out 1/2 of the chicken and 1/2 of the Mexican cheese on top of the peppers. Spoon 1/2 of the remaining enchilada sauce on top of cheese layer. Repeat layering steps. Top with chopped cilantro.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheesy is melted and browning, about 25 minutes.
