Oven-Baked Cilantro Rice & Bean Tacos with Tomatoes, Jalapeño & Guacamole

Step 1

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the base Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. Drain and rinse the beans. In the tray, combine the spinach, rice, drained beans, tomatoes, spice blend, cilantro sauce, and as much of the pepper as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Stir to combine. Add 1 cup of water to the tray. Season with salt and pepper; stir to thoroughly combine.

Step 2

2 Bake the tray Tightly cover the tray with foil and bake 40 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Carefully remove the foil. Evenly top with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, 5 to 7 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven.

Step 3

3 Warm the tortillas & serve your dish Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and place directly onto an oven rack; warm 7 to 9 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer to a work surface and carefully unwrap. Serve the baked tray with the warmed tortillas. Top with the sour cream, guacamole, and crispy onions. Enjoy!
