Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked wild rice
  • 1 cup cooked brown or white rice
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 can (15 to 16 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (11 ounces) whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 large Kaiser rolls (about 3 1/2 inches in diameter)
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)

Steps

  • 1
    Mix wild rice, brown rice, cilantro, beans, corn and chilies in medium bowl. Mix vinegar, mustard, cumin and pepper; toss with rice mixture.
  • 2
    Cut 1/2-inch-thick slice from tops of rolls. Remove bread from inside of each roll, leaving 1/2-inch shell on side and bottom. Reserve bread trimmings for another use.
  • 3
    Spoon rice mixture into rolls. Sprinkle with cheese.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    All rice is not the same! Because brown rice still has the germ and bran layer, it takes longer to cook, about forty-five to fifty minutes versus twenty minutes for regular long grain white rice, but it's worth the time. Cook a double batch, and keep rice in the freezer for nights you want brown rice in a snap. Use chili powder if cumin isn't available.
  • tip 2
    Omit pinto beans. Add 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey with wild rice in step 1. Continue as directed.
