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.

  1. 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.
