She's right! This isnt gorgeous to look at bc the Rotel mixes w the sour cream and goes orangey lol Personally I think it is equally as good as a chip dip or burrito filling. I added 1\/2 packet of taco seasoning and used hot salsa\/black beans in seasoned sauce\/hot rotel. I also only added Mexican cheese (not cheddar) to add more flavor. Not a 5 star for me, but still a decent recipe to get some veggies into your weekly diet.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-07-26","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Jamie655"},"reviewBody":"I made this for the first time this weekend with a few tweaks and it was super easy and super good.

Had to put it in the 13 x 15 cake pan. Froze a bunch for burrito filling for later. I also added a pack of taco seasoning since others said to and used pinto beans since we aren't real fond of black beans.  I thought it was just OK, but my husband really enjoyed it. I think it will be much better wrapped in a flour tortilla. And, that's easy enough to do. Let him eat it right out of the dish and wrap mine in tortillas.  I never do fat free anything, so my cheese and sour cream were the real deal. I'd rather eat less and have full satisfying flavor then use tasteless fat free stuff and still crave more flavor.  I'm not sure I will make this again.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-11-10","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CyanTag"},"reviewBody":"I always read through comments and am never disappointed.  I knew it would be a bit bland for us, so I also threw in a packet of El Paso taco seasoning mix.  Didn't have mexicorn so I put in regular 15 oz corn, drained, since I didn't want to waste the little bit of left.  To make up for it, I finely chopped a few strips of a red sweet pepper and cooked it with the onion to soften.  Also used white rice since I had some leftover.  3\/4 cup dried is 2-1\/4 cups cooked. Personal preference but I don't used reduced fat anything.  If it's too many calories, I use less or do without.  So full fat cheese and sour cream.  I may have been a little low on rice and about 1\/4 cup extra on corn, but there was no way this was going to fit in my shallow 2-1\/2 quart casserole unless I wanted to be cleaning up the oven from run over.  I used my big square casserole and it was pretty much perfect, but I think a 9x13 pan would've worked just as well.  Definitely a keeper and definitely needed the taco seasoning.  Thanks to those who suggested it. I had no mexican cheese blend, so used monterey jack.  This is a very versatile and forgiving recipe.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-05-07","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedTurtle"},"reviewBody":"This was really good!  I used Minute brown rice, 2 cups cooked according to the directions, and for the salsa, Pace Hot Picante Sauce.  Although the directions did not mention draining the Rotel tomatoes, I did.  As another reviewer suggested, I sauteed the onions just a bit, but next time I will skip that step.  I made tortilla chips from whole wheat tortillas cut into 8 wedges, brushed on both sides with melted butter, topped with sea salt and baked for 10 minutes at 350.  I also served avocado slices as a side.
