I’m not an expert at many things. But when it comes to incorporating corn chips into my dinner recipes, you are looking at the master. Introducing, Mexican Rice Bowls.
The thing I love most about these Mexican Rice Bowls (apart from the corn chips)? So EASY! It’s a chop, spoon, mash-dinner in under 10 minutes-kind of deal. There is actually no *real* cooking involved. Plus, these bowls of yum are perfect if you have any dietary requirements, cos they’re basically everything free.
There is nothing you won’t like about this recipe. And just so you know. If you can stick to the suggested serving of corn chips, you’re superhuman (full disclosure: I am most definitely not).

This recipe can easily be made vegan or dairy-free by ditching the sour cream and adding some extra mashed avocado
I am loving Seeds of Change organic microwave rice pouches, right now. I used their brown rice and quinoa one in this recipe.
