Tex Mex Rice Casserole

An easy Vegan Tex Mex Rice Casserole with lots of Tex-mex flavor like chipotle chili and cumin. This is a comforting and not too spicy Mexican-inspired dinner that is perfect on any weekday.

Key Ingredients

Chopped bell peppers

White rice

Ground cumin

Black beans

Chili powder blend

Can of diced tomato

In a 9×11 or similar sized baking dish brush the 1 teaspoon oil on the baking dish then add the onion, bell peppers, cumin, bay leaves and salt. Mix well then drizzle the remaining oil on top and mix lightly again.

Then bake at 400F (205C) for 9-11 minutes or until mixture is starting to get golden. Remove the dish from the oven then add in the spices and tomatoes and mix in.

Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix really well with the spatula. Cover with foil or parchment or a clean baking dish and put it back to bake for 30-35 minutes.

Remove from the oven, take out the sheet or the foil. Fluff the rice a little bit then top it with cheese, pickled jalapeno and put back in oven for the cheese to melt.

Then take it out of the oven, garnish with cilantro, green onion, lime juice and serve.
