Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice brown is great too, but takes longer to cook, dry long grain
- 10 oz enchilada sauce
- 1 cup salsa chunky
- ½ tsp cumin ground
- 1 tsp garlic ground
- 1 tsp onion ground
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (I use rotisserie in a jiffy)
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 1 can 15oz black beans, rinsed/drained
- 1 ½ cup cheddar cheese Mexican blend or cheddar-jack, shredded
- cilantro extra salsa, or guacamole, or green onion, chopped fresh, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Cook rice in a medium-large or large heavy pot, according to package instructions.
- While rice cooks, pre-measure all needed ingredients. Shred the chicken, if you're using it. Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add all ingredients into pot of cooked rice, except for the cheese. Stir to combine thoroughly. Sprinkle cheese on top evenly.
- Bake uncovered about 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Garnish with cilantro or green onions, if desired, and serve with toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Brown rice can be used instead of white rice; cook according to package instructions.
- Feel free to make it meatless, use another protein, or add in other veggies.
