Mexican Flair Rice and Bean Casserole

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 cup brown rice, cooked according to package directions 1 pound of shredded cooked beef or chicken 1- 2 cups frozen organic corn 2 cups fresh spinach 1-15 oz can organic black beans, drained and rinsed 1- 4 oz can diced green chiles 2/3 cup sour cream 3/4 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese, and another ½ cup to sprinkle on top 1/4 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp chili powder

Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray.

Add the entire ingredient list together in a large bowl; minus ½ cup cheese – save that for the topping later.

Stir everything together.

Pour into a greased baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes at 350.

Sprinkle the top with ½ cup cheese and bake for an extra 10 minutes longer.

Remove from oven and allow cooling slightly. Enjoy!

Note:

To make this a vegetarian/vegan meal just omit the meat and you can also use non-dairy cheese & non-dairy sour cream.

Serve with a side salad to get more of those yummy veggies in!

OR you can serve with a ¼ cup of guacamole.
