Love a mostly pantry recipe because my empty refrigerator mocks me.

Delicious without guilt! I omitted the chicken and substituted monterey jack with cheddar. I am sure MJ would be better...so will use that next time :). Thank you so much for posting... I will be using some fresh cilantro as suggested by Mika. G....

Good stuff and a great hot weather no-oven recipe, added in some cayenne pepper and used white cooked rice in place of brown as that is all I had in my freezer, I had to make this twice to feed my family one was not enough, the second time around I added in more tomato, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)

This was great for a portable lunch. I took it into work and reheated it in the microwave. Everyone at my lunch table thought it looked fabulous and I can tell you it tasted the same! I did only use about 1 cup rice and left out the tomatoes. I will definitely be making this again, as will some of my co-workers! Thanks Cheesehead!
