Ingredients

  • cup  uncooked white rice
  • 1 tablespoon  olive oil
  • cloves garlic, minced
  • small  onion, diced
  • bell pepper, diced  (I like using red or yellow peppers)
  • cup  canned corn kernels, drained and rinsed
  • cup  canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3/4  cup  of your favorite mild red enchilada sauce
  • 1/2  cup  of your favorite mild green enchilada sauce
  • 1/2  teaspoon  chili powder
  • 1/4  teaspoon  cumin
  • 1/4  teaspoon  oregano
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • cup  shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • Corn Tortillas or Flour Tortillas, warmed
  • Sour Cream
  • Sliced avocado
  • Lime Wedges

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan of 1 1 /2 cups water, cook rice per package instructions; set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion and bell pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in rice, corn, black beans, enchilada sauces, chili powder, cumin and oregano until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Remove from heat and top with cheese. Cover until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.
  • Ladle big spoonfuls of the mixture onto warm tortillas and garnish with extra cilantro. Serve with sour cream, fresh avocado and lime wedges.
  • NOTE:  You can either warm the tortillas, or fry them up in a little bit of olive oil.  I highly recommend frying, but it's completely up to you!
  • ANOTHER NOTE:  If you don't have enchilada sauce, you can substitute the same amount of fire roasted tomatoes or diced tomatoes.  
  • LAST NOTE:  Even though this is a vegetarian dish, adding ground meat would absolutely work.  For a family of 4 I recommend 1 pound of ground meat.  Add it after you have sauteed the onion, garlic and bell pepper for a few minutes.
