One Pot Mexican Style Baked Rice 😍 This is also the final dish in my mini one pot series and I think it’s my favourite of the lot! There’s so much going on in a singular pot and every mouthful will definitely make you smile 🙂 I’ve popped some tips at the bottom if for example you can’t eat beans (I never used to be able to and still can’t have many!) or if for instance you want to make this veggie. It’s the perfect dish for everyone, so easy to make, and minimal washing up too 🥳 Anyway What have you thought of my one pot mini series? Let me know if you’ve enjoyed it and would like to see more dinner ideas as I’m always experimenting to ensure my dinner time AND your dinner time is never ever dull. You guys asked me to do a rice dish next and that’s exactly what I did - I always listen 😋 Who’s going to be saving this one for a dinner soon?! Please do!! 😇 It’s the perfect midweek meal but it’s also the perfect weekend feast with guacamole, sour cream and tortilla chips on the side 💜
