Burrito Bowl & Enchilada Mix

I saw this pin on Pinterest quite awhile ago and honestly forgot that I already had all the stuff on hand that I needed to make it! I was looking for a new - somewhat simple idea for a blog post. If you hadn't noticed - I was a week behind on my 'once a week' posting schedule due to not feeling well lately. I've been dealing with some pretty bad dizziness..but hey, that IS where the 'spinnin'' comes into play with this blog - so it's to be expected! However, in keeping with my goal, I was determined to catch up. Therefore, I am posting TWO recipes this week! Like I said, I wanted it to be something quick yet healthy and filling. So here it is, a burrito bowl that I decided at the last second to turn into an enchilada!

Ingredients:
2 cups of brown rice
1 can of black beans
1 cup of sweet corn (I used canned corn)
1 small onion diced
1/2 red pepper diced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
10 oz. Old El Paso enchilada sauce
Old El Paso enchilada seasoning packet
Old El Paso enchilada shells (if making enchilada)

Directions:
1. Place a small skillet on medium heat. Add in olive oil along with the diced onion and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes. While the veggies are cooking, begin to cook your rice as well.
2. While you're waiting for the rice to cook - rinse and drain the beans. Set aside.
3. Once your veggies and rice are ready, start to combine all your ingredients into a medium sized pot on medium heat. Stir everything together.
4. Add in enchilada sauce and seasoning packet. Stir well until everything is warm.

At this point, if you are just making the enchilada bowl, you'll have what looks like the picture above. Ready to eat just as is! However, if you want to use the Old El Paso enchilada kit - I think this is a GREAT mixture of rice, beans and vegetables to fill it with. I followed the directions on the package, added my own vegan Mexican cheese blend on top, drizzled a little bit of enchilada sauce over it all and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be making it again!
