Enchilada Rice

Submitted by HurricaneChampagne

"I whipped up this recipe with some leftovers and some ingredients I had on hand. This recipe is nice because it's simple and can be modified very easily with whatever ingredients you and your family prefer. I intended for this to be a side dish, but adding cooked chicken or pork would easily make this a meal."

We love this! I cook my rice in chicken broth with lots of chopped onion, garlic. Of course I add jalapeños.

I thought this was really good! I added sliced olives, because we love them. It was easy to put together and the flavor was perfect for our family. Flavorful enough for me, but not too spicy as to bother the kids. I did omit the jalapeno. Thanks for a great recipe idea!
