Easy Enchilada Rice (+Video)
This Easy One Pot Cheesy Enchilada Rice is packed full of flavor with enchilada sauce, salsa, corn, peppers and topped off with cheese!
A DELICIOUSLY SIMPLE SIDE DISH
I have a favorite Mexican Style Rice recipe on the site here that I love to make. It only has 3 ingredients and I can make it pretty quickly as a side dish. That recipe is sort of a base for this recipe for Enchilada Rice. We’re taking it up a notch by adding some peppers and corn along with some salsa (or Rotel diced tomatoes.) They give it that extra bit of kick.
CAN I ADD BEEF OR CHICKEN TO THIS RECIPE?
You could absolutely add some cooked chicken or ground beef to this recipe if you like. It is very easy to beef up. Even fajita chicken or steak strips would be perfect! It also makes a delicious filling for Stuffed Peppers! This rice also reheats really well so if you have extra, it makes for a delicious work lunch the next day.

Looks EZ PZ, just how I like to cook. I think I’ll put a layer of refried beans on the bottom. Anyone else’s grocery store real low or have no enchilada sauce? I’ll have to play scavenger hunt to stock up.
How much cooked chicken or browned ground beef would you suggest usig?
Going to try this tonight. Would black beans kill this recipe or would it be a good addition ?
Not at all! I love black beans so I say add them! 🙂
Quick, easy and flavorful? That sounds like my kind of dish. This looks delicious!
Thank you sweet lady!
What rice do you use that cooks with so little water? I usually need to double the quantity of water
Instant rice (like minute rice) ???? I have a note on the recipe card that if you want to use a regular long grain rice, you’ll just need to double the amount of water. Hope that helps!
