Tag: mexican casserole

What you’ll need:

1 C wild rice cooked according to directions

1 can of enchilada sauce (or 1 batch of my homemade green sauce, see previous blog post)

1 small bag of frozen corn defrosted

1 can black beans rinsed and strained

1/2 bunch of cilantro chopped

2 Serrano peppers de-veined and seeded chopped finely

1 lemon (juice)

1 C Mexican blend shredded cheese divided in half

1 Tsp sea salt

1 Tsp black pepper

1 Tsp chili powder (I use hot Mexican chili pepper)

1 Tsp paprika

2 tomatoes chopped

1 avocado chopped

1 bunch green onion chopped

What you’ll do:

Preheat oven to 400

In a large bowl combine rice, sauce, corn, beans, cilantro, peppers, lemon, 1/2 C cheese and all spices

Pour mixture into a glass casserole dish and cover with remaining cheese

Bake until cheese is melting and juices are bubbling about 20 minutes

While that is baking combine tomatoes, avocados and green onions in a small bowl

Remove casserole from oven, top with tomato mixture and enjoy!
