Tips
- Topping ideas: extra salsa, avocado, cilantro sauce, hot sauce, etc.
- Microwave the vegetable broth for 2 minutes, or until boiling. Alternatively, you can bring this mixture to a boil on the stovetop.
- Use a spatula to press the rice into the mixture so it’s submerged.
- If it looks like there is still liquid in the casserole dish after baking, stir and continue to bake for 5-10 minutes until the broth is completely absorbed.
- After baking, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit, covered, for a few minutes before serving.
