YOU’LL NEED INGREDIENTS:

WHAT IS THE RECIPE FOR A VEGETARIAN MEXICAN RICE CASSEROLE?

  • In a rice cooker, cook white rice. You can prepare it on the stove, but the sticky, super-fluffy rice comes from the rice cooker.
  • Aside from the rice, this meal is made in a single big pot.
  • I used my Dutch oven, which I believe was a perfect size! This dish may be made in any big pot.
  • Prepare all of your vegetables for cooking by chopping them up. To begin, heat the olive oil, garlic, red onion, and bell pepper in a dutch oven. Cook, tossing often, over medium-high heat until the onion is transparent.
  • Cook for a few minutes more after adding the frozen corn and fire-roasted tomatoes.
  • Cooked rice, enchilada sauce, black beans, cream cheese, fresh lime juice, seasonings, and some Mexican cheese
  • Stir to combine and cook through, then season with salt to taste.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cook rice per package directions (I used a rice cooker). To increase the recipe, you’ll need 4 cups of cooked rice.
  • Meanwhile, heat a big heavy skillet over medium-high heat (I used a Dutch oven).
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic, red onion, and bell pepper sauté for 8-12 minutes, or until onion becomes translucent.
  • Stir in the corn and fire-roasted tomatoes for 3 minutes.
