A knock-off on this classic baked brown rice, I wanted a Spanish-style rice to compliment dishes such as this one. Taking a note from several recipes I’ve seen lately, I used rotel tomatoes to help with the heat and flavor.
Mexican salsa recipe made with chopped fresh tomatoes, jalapeno and serano chili peppers, red onion, cilantro, and lime. Also called Pico de Gallo or Salsa Fresca.
A base of stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, white wine and steak sauce surrounds chili-seasoned ground beef, bacon and kidney beans in this chili brightened with cilantro.
Unlike most baked pasta recipes, this one starts with uncooked pasta so it's super convenient. With the added water and canned diced tomatoes, the pasta cooks in the oven along with the chicken and cheese for an easy one-dish meal.
