Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 (8 inch) corn tortillas
1 (8.8 ounce) package UNCLE BEN'S® READY RICE® Spanish Style
8 ounces no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed
½ (15.25 ounce) can no-salt-added corn, drained
½ (14.5 ounce) can no salt-added diced tomatoes, drained
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
avocado, thinly sliced
chopped cilantro
sliced black olives

Steps:

  • Turn a 12-cup muffin tin upside down. Nestle 6 corn tortillas in the spaces between the cups to form 'bowls.' Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until warm and beginning to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Cook UNCLE BEN'S® READY RICE® Spanish Style according to directions on the package. While the rice is still warm, transfer to a large bowl and mix in black beans, corn, tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese.
  • Fill the shells with the rice and bean mixture, then top evenly with remaining cheddar cheese. Add toppings like avocado, cilantro, or olives.
