EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Be sure to use converted rice in this recipe and not regular white rice. The acidity in the salsa and enchilada sauce prevents the non-converted rice from becoming tender.

If you are looking for a spicey dish, this isn't for you. But if you are looking for an easy (although do prepare for 2 hours in the oven!)meal to throw together on a weeknight, then try this one out. I didn't use as many black beans as they called for and as a side, I had a tray of tostitos and melted cheese/sour cream. It was good to dip the chips in your extra rice! I also added some salt and peper to the chicken to taste and used wheat brown rice instead of white.
