Ingredients: 1 cup long grain rice 2 cups water 1 cup salsa (your choice as to type/spiciness) 1 cup cheddar cheese (i use 2% part skim) salt and pepper to taste (if your salsa isn't tasty enough !) 1. Cook rice as per usual (boil water, add rice, bring to boil again, turn down to simmer for 20 minutes). 2. After rice is cooked and still hot, add salsa and shredded cheddar cheese...stir to mix all together. That's it! you can add more salsa and cheese if you would like. This was really good- normally i am not a rice fan. Also i'm sure you could do this with instant rice instead if you prefer.

I will probably use brown basmati or red rice when I make it... Maybe add some shrimp for protein... Also good replacement for instant rice (which has little fiber and nutrition) cook extra rice and store in the freezer until you need it "quickly". Also if you use white rice use PARBOILED because this process seals in the nutrients so all you are lacking is the fiber... Honestly though I love the brown basmati (Loblaws) and my 8 yr old really likes the red rice... Edited by NicC, Oct 29 2009, 06:32 PM.
