Whenever I have a hard time planning dinner, my husband requests his favorite bake. Often, I use it as an entree, served with warm tortillas. Other times, I eliminate the meat and present it as a spicy side dish.

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but I really enjoyed this recipe. It was flavorful and not too spicy.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. It was still really delicious!

I didn't have any black beans, so I used kidney beans instead. It still turned out great!

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my rice bake turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much rice.
