- 3 cup uncooked instant rice
- 3 cup water
- 0.5 cup diced red and green bell peppers
- 0.5 cup frozen corn
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.67 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese

Instructions
- In a large oven-safe skillet, combine the uncooked rice and water. Cook according to the package instructions until the rice is tender. Tip: Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in some cooked ground beef or beans. You can use any combination of bell peppers or even add other vegetables like zucchini or spinach for extra nutrition.
