This sounds yummy, but could you clarify about the green chile? is it 1/4 c roasted (or canned) green chile plus 1/2 fresh green chile (jalapeno??), and is the latter minced, or is it 1/4-1/2 cup roasted (or canned) green chile ??

Thanks for pointing that out that that needed clarification. It's a weird formatting thing too which I tried to fix plus clarify. It's 1/4 - 1/2 cup chopped green chile according to taste/hotness.
