Sampling new stuff again

Tried something new last night for dinner.  I took a pictorial tutorial along the way, just in case it was good and delicious and would want it again. 

Follow along as I make Mexican Sour Cream Rice:


First I had to boil a cup of rice in Chicken Broth.  I opted to use 1/2 of brown rice and a 1/2 cup white rice to make it a little healthier.  However, I've mixed the rice before and I never tell the difference between them.....so I think I'm just going to switch over to brown rice permanently.


 
Assemble all your ingredients: Monterrey Jack Cheese, Green Chiles, Cilantro, Sour Cream, Black Beans and Corn.  Also we threw in a couple of dashes of Emeril's.
 


Throw this creamy cluster of yumminess in a baking dish and throw some shredded cheese on top



Here's what it looked like piping hot from the oven
 


We served it up with some avocado slices on top and I whipped up a batch of jalapeno cornbread.

Our recommendations:  it was really good, although it would be even better if it was wrapped up in a tortilla or throw some chicken in it.  While we liked it and it tasted really good, we're not sure if it's something we'll want to make again.
