Cheese + red enchilada sauce + green enchilada sauce + rice. Now that’s my kind of dinner.

Now I’m not really sure what to really call this. I think of it as an inside-out enchilada. Or a glorified Mexican fried rice.

Either way, this beats any kind of rice I have ever had. And being Korean, I’ve had many rice dishes in my day.

Best of all, this skillet is completely customizable to what you have on hand – feel free to throw in more veggies or even grilled chicken for extra protein.

Quinoa would also be a wonderful healthy substitute for the rice, although I would personally end up having the double the servings instead!
