Notes:
This recipe is very mild. We like to kick it up by replacing the chili powder and salt with 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and using a can of Rotel Tomatoes in place of the diced tomatoes. If you are in a hurry, you can shorten the baking time to 15 minutes by using 1-1/2 cups of cooked rice in place of the 1 cup of water and 2/3 cup uncooked rice.
