Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Step 
    2
    In a large bowl, heat the cream cheese in the microwave for 30-40 seconds or until softened. Mix in the taco seasoning, corn, beans, tomatoes, chiles, enchilada sauce, and cilantro. Stir to combine. Stir in the rice and 1/2 cup of each of the cheeses until fully combined. Set aside.
  • Step 
    3
    Spray a large baking dish with nonstick spray. I used a 10” round dish, but you can also use a 9 x 13.
  • Step 
    4
    Start by making a layer of the green peppers along the bottom of the dish. Top with half of the rice mixture, and use a spoon to smooth out as much as possible.
  • Step 
    5
    Layer in the red peppers and top with last half of the rice mixture. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of each of the cheeses and sprinkle with more cilantro.
  • Step 
    6
    Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted and the casserole is fully heated through.
  • Step 
    7
    Remove from the oven and top with more cilantro and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately.
  • Step 
    8
    Enjoy!
