I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bake turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the rice.

This was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more chili powder and cumin next time.

This was a great way to use up leftover taco meat. I also added some black beans and corn to make it even more hearty.

I'm not a huge fan of taco rice, but this bake was actually really good. The cheese and sour cream really made it.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I will try making it again with less chili powder.
