This dish was very good! Very flavorful! Just what I was looking for! The only changes I made is I doubled the recipe and I added extra cheese! Great reheated for leftovers! Will definitely be making again!

Doubled it and made it as written except used diced tomatoes & pinto beans for sauce & black beans (pantry supply). Tasted great, rice was done. Served with our favorite hint of lime tortilla chips.
