Yeah, I'm on a rice and beans kick! What can I say? It's good, it's cheap, that's about all! :)
There is some chicken in this, and I used the rotisserie chicken from Safeway. It was on sale, AND it was already cooked! BONUS! I am busy this week doing 2 cakes, one of them being my own sons! :) So, what I am saying is I need SUPER easy and fast! ;) This for sure falls in that category! ;)
I put my rice in my rice cooker and let that go. Then I got all the ingredients around and then threw it all in the oven for about 20-30 minutes! Viola, it was done AND good! It passed my hubs taste, even with the beans in there, so, BINGO! It was a winner! :)
Mexican Rice Bake
•1 1/2 cup chicken breast, cooked and shredded
•4 1/2 cups cooked white rice
•1/2 bag of frozen sweet corn, somewhat dethawed
•1 can (15.5) ounce can black beans, drained (or I used the black beans I had soaked and ready in the frig)
•1 tomato, diced
•1-2 tsp cilantro
•1/2 cup sour cream
•1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
•1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
•red pepper flakes, as much or little as you like, it just gives it an extra delish flavor
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare the rice. While you are waiting for the rice to cook, mix together the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Once rice is done, add to bowl and stir to combine. Place in a 9x13 inch pan. Place in oven for 20-30 minutes until warmed all the way through.
Enjoy! Easy and good! That's how to do it! :)
