Expert Tips

Check the label on the can of tomatoes, with chiles. The mild, medium or hot designation will help you purchase tomatoes with a chile potency that suits your taste.

Mexican cheese blend combines shredded colby, Montery Jack and Cheddar cheeses.

Serve this casserole-style skillet with a spinach salad tossed with avocado slices and jicama sticks.

Wonderful, this is one that I really like. It's nearly impossible to cook for one person. Because I'm single and live alone I cook in big batches and freeze almost everything. I double this recipe and split it into eight containers. The first time I made this I followed the recipe exactly and it was great. However, to save calories, rather than doubling the cheese to three cups, I reduce it to only one cup. I still get the taste and cut the calories. I get larger servings (8 rather than 10) that are 20 calories less than the original.

Question: I looked all over for 4.4 oz. Spanish rice mis and couldn't find it. Is there a brand I should look for? Is it a seasoning mix? Or is it ok to use the 7-8 oz. mixes I did find?

I love this recipe. It's one of my family's favorites, including my picky 5 yr old.

Delicious! I did add chili powder, steak seasoning, and minced onion based on some of the other reviews. I used spanish rice/vermicelli which didn't fully cooked so it might be best to avoid vermicelli.

Very good. My five-year-old loved it in a tortilla. Next time I might add a little taco seasoning for a bit more flavor.
