Baked Mexican rice with beans and greens topped with mango salsa

I created this deliciously tasty baked Mexican rice recipe to celebrate National Rice Week and it’s incredibly tasty.

The recipe is super easy to make – firstly add the long grain rice, beans, veg and stock to a casserole dish and bake for 15 minutes. The long grain rice works brilliantly here, as it absorbs all the lovely flavours whilst baking.

In the mean time make a smokey tomato sauce with Mexican spices then add sauce to the rice and bake for a further 15 minutes until everything is absorbed and the rice is super tasty.

I love to serve with a fresh mango salsa which adds instant freshness and so much flavour. The whole dish is packed with flavour and perfect for the family.

I love cooking with rice as its probably the best store cupboard staple in my opinion as its incredibly versatile and nutritious.

I hope you really enjoy this delicious recipe and you can find more information here about how to Rice Up Your Life http://www.riceassociation.org.uk/

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

This looks so tasty. Would it work with brown rice?

This looks delicious but my son is allergic to mango. Do you think it would work with pineapple?
