we also use frozen green chilis in regular salsa or green salsa instead of jalepenos

caldo de queso or other soups and I use them in my version of beef or chicken curry too (though fresh is better for that)

3. Tortilla rolls, an appetizer, but you could add stuff to make more of a meal.

I like these simple bites a lot.

Large flour tortillas
Cream cheese
Diced chilies

Spread the cheese over tortillas, add diced chilies. Roll up real tight. Wrap and chill. Cut in 1/2 inch rounds to serve, topped with some diced green - cilantro, basil, chives, celery leaves or whatever.

I've thought about adding anchovies to the roll, but haven't tried it yet.

10. No, but don't overdo it or your corn bread will fall apart easily.

Sorry, I always "eye-measure", so I don't know what overdoing it is -- probably as thick
as blueberries -- maybe a little less.

Um... if you're not vegetarian/vegan, must I point out the heavenly, smoke-a-licious
delight of adding crumbled bacon?

Roasted green chile goes in everything here from hamburgers to pizza to bagels to salads. I like them plain on tortilla chips, but I'm hardcore.

If you're not up for baking green chile bagels, try making green chile salsa and using it tacos and anything else that needs a little kick.

Green chile burgers are made with onions, garlic and green chile sweated together, cooled, and then mixed into the hamburger.

Green chile stew is boring beef stew without carrots and potatoes but with onion, garlic, celery, green chile and a can of drained and rinsed hominy.

Around here, turkeys that don't get sold over the holidays are turned into turkey asada, the brown meat stewed until it's fall off the bones tender in a mixture of tomatillo and green chile and then pulled like pork. It's good by itself over rice or you can do tacos or burritos with it.

I'm sure the web will give you even more ideas. These are just a few off the top of my head.

Roasted green chiles can be stuffed and roasted for great snacks and appetizers. Lots of recipes. I use goat cheese sometimes.

7. could you make some kind of jam?

It sounds good to me. A jam that could be spread on bagels, used to glaze poultry, etc. You could make it with a fruit, such as peaches or pears. Or it could be a citrus-chile marmalade.

I frozze them in zip-lock bags and each holds about a dozen chili's so if I thaw one out I need to use up the whole bag. I'm thinking about stuffing them with some kind of chees and meat mix, dippinf in egg and cormeal and fry them up.
