A wonderful snack that the whole family will enjoy is made with three different types of cheese and gluten-free bread crumbs. Due to the addition of cotija cheese prior to baking, the gluten-free bread crumbs crisp up much like traditional ones.

- 1 bay leaf
- 4 cups hot cooked rice

Instructions

No Changes, didn’t taste like I’m use to.
The beans did not get done enough for our family. Would probably soak them overnight if I try this again.
