Main Ingredients

  • 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
  • diced cilantro for topping

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.
  • Once the rice is cooked, add the diced bell peppers, frozen corn, salsa, enchilada sauce, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir everything together until well mixed.
  • Spread the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dish for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Tip: Keep an eye on it to ensure the cheese doesn’t burn.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with diced cilantro before serving warm.

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.
