Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/2 cups long grain rice
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole tomatoes, crushed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can Mexican style beans
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
  • 2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded or grated
  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Garnish: cilantro, parsley, or scallions, chopped (optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Rice Base ... Mix the rice, tomatoes, beans, onion, garlic, green chilies, 1 cup Mexican cheese, cottage cheese, and oil in a bowl. Add to the crock pot that is lightly sprayed with a non-stick spray. Note: I crush the whole tomatoes with my hand, or you can use a fork - you just want to break them up.

  • Step 2: Cook ... Cover, and cook 7-9 hours on low heat. The newer crock pots cook much faster; and, this cookbook obviously was based around the older crock pots. So, I would suggest 7 hours, as this is how long mine takes. But just be aware, that cooking times can vary.

  • Step 3: Serve ... Transfer to a serving dish and top with the remaining cheese, and garnish with cilantro, parsley, or scallions if you want. ENJOY!
