Instructions
-
Step1Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Step2In 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.
-
Step3Spray a large baking dish with nonstick spray. I used a 10” round dish, but you can also use a 9 x 13.
-
Step4Start 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.
-
Step5Layer 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.
-
Step6Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted and the casserole is fully heated through.
-
Step7Remove from the oven and top with more cilantro and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately.

Step8Enjoy!
