Notes
- it's best to use a disposable cake pan you can control the level of spice by how much green chile you put in.
- Some brands of pepper jack also tend to be spicier, so having a taste of that before adding it in will help gauge if you want to lower the amount of green chile
- It's really great with both chicken and corn added in.
- Chorizo is a good addition as well.
- Can be made a day in advance
