Notes
- I used canned enchilada sauce, but feel free to make your own.
- You can add ground beef, cooked chicken, or prawns to turn this into a full meal.
- Be sure to store this dish as soon as it’s cooled as rice is a breeding ground for bacteria. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days. If freezing store this dish in a freezer bag with the air pressed out. Thaw overnight in the fridge and fluff the rice before reheating. This dish will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
