I’m in love with this Mexican Brown Rice Cantina Bowl. There is so much Mexican flavor packed into this one bowl and you know how much I love Mexican food. Mexican food is a family favorite cuisine with my whole family. We eat it at least once a week. It’s pretty much a household staple.
Thank you to Riceland for sponsoring this post! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I always have flour tortillas and taco shells or tortilla chips in my pantry. But another ingredient I always keep is rice. This recipe is a perfect way to use up some of that rice. I love the easy way of adding flavor to the rice by cooking it with a can of enchilada sauce. Then, basically, you can pull out your other favorite ingredients to make it your own.
This recipe would also be great as a double duty meal. Cook your rice the night before and grill your chicken for meal 1 then follow the recipe for Mexican Brown Rice Cantina Bowl for meal 2. Heat your ingredients and night 2 would be a snap.

Oh wow! This looks delicious! I just discovered quinoa this past year and finally convinced my husband to try it. Amazing! I will have to add this to my menu next week. 😀
Thank you! I hope you like. I’ve never tried quinoa. Do you have any recipes?
This looks SO yummy! I love anything with black beans 🙂
Love working with you at Funtastic Friday!
What kind of chicken is that or how do you get it to look like that, looks amazing!!
Hey Melissa. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts. In this case, I used my Cuisinart. It’s a grill, flat top, panini press all in one. I used the grill plates. I love that piece of kitchen equipment. Thank you so much for the compliment.
