This was really good! I added a can of diced tomatoes and some lime juice. I didn't have any cilantro, and left the cheese out when I baked it. I added the cheese on top to individual plates, except for mine. I will definitely make this again!

Calls for cheese in the filling, I didn’t add it as I didn’t want it to burn during the double cooking time. Also had lots of extra veggies and filling so I added extra rice to make dirty rice!
