Cooking Instructions
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-1/2 cup Lundberg® Long Grain Brown Rice
- 1 (14.5oz) can tomatoes with jalapeños, undrained

- 1/8-1/4 Tsp. dried red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese, divided
Preheat oven to 350°F.
9" X 13” well-buttered baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add onions and garlic; cook for 4-5 minutes until onions are translucent. Transfer into a large bowl. Stir in Lundberg Long Grain Brown Rice, tomatoes, beans, and green chilies. Heat water to boiling and stir into rice/bean mixture; pour into baking dish. Stir in one cup grated cheese. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until rice is tender. (If rice is tender but excess water remains, remove foil and cook 5 more minutes.)
