Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly cooked rice. If you're using leftover rice, make sure it's cold before adding it to the skillet.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder and cumin to your taste. If you like it spicy, add more chili powder. If you prefer a milder flavor, add less.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you're using a small skillet, cook the rice in batches.
  • Be careful not to burn the rice. If it starts to stick to the bottom of the skillet, reduce the heat and stir more frequently.
  • Serve the rice immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

This one-pot enchilada rice is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its bold flavors and cheesy topping, this rice dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
