This dish is extremely diverse. The next time I make this, I am going to ditch the black beans. I LOVE black beans, but in this, they were just too overpowering. This can be made with chicken, yellow rice, cauliflower rice, different cheese, etc. Make it whatever you want it to be. Being the first time making it, I try to stick to the recipe, however it called for chicken, and all I had on had was ground turkey. What I used: 1 lb ground turkey 1 can of rinsed black beans 1 can of whole kernel corn, drained 2 pouches of wild rice, microwaveable 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack 1 block of cream cheese A plethora of seasonings Literally as I am typing this I yelled "OH NO!!!!! I FORGOT TO ADD THE PICO DE GALLO!!!!!" which would have been amazing on top of this. I browned and seasoned the meat before I went to work, so when I got home it only took a few minutes to assemble. Heat your oven to 350°. Brown and season the meat with whatever you like. I used garlic/onion powder, Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning, a little bit of Tony Chachere, taco seasoning, and basil. I added in the drained corn and beans, a cubed up block of cream cheese, I microwaved the rice, stirred in it, and one cup of cheese. Cover, and place into the oven. I have this nifty fake Dutch oven, and I LOVE IT! After 25 minutes, I took it out, stirred well, making sure the cream cheese was evenly distributed, added another cup of shredded cheddar, and some Monterey Jack. Since I had the cheese drawer open, for giggles, I added 3 slices of Provolone. Bake for 5-10 minutes until everything is melted and bubbly. It isn't that pretty, but hella tasty.
