Couple suggestions: put in bowl with lettuce, sour cream, cheese grated on top. I only made 1 cup of rice but it would have been better with the full two cups as the recipe suggests. Didn't find it bland but you could always use a spicy salsa. Also, I would add salsa on top of this as well as it is a little dry.

Needed a bit more seasoning, and a bit more spice. But nice and easy. Perhaps add a real chilli.
