Cheesy Enchilada Rice and Bean Casserole | Mommyhood's Diary

Even though, I’m Latina I have never eaten an enchilada, much less used enchilada sauce. Having said that, I was greatly surprised by how this recipe turned out.

I loved it. Actually, I almost (note I said “almost”) ate the whole thing myself.

It’s nothing fancy, but let me assure you — it’s tasty! It’s vegetarian (although you can add diced chicken if you’d like).

Oh, my…it hit the spot! It comes together in a single bowl with just 5 min prep and 6 ingredients. Doesn’t get any better than this!
