I love this Mexican Fire Rice dish. It’s a really filling slightly spicy rice and sausage dish that is baked with Picante sauce, sour cream, and cheese.
All of the ingredients are things that I regularly have on hand.
Tastes like a tamale kinda… or an enchilada, totally love this.
So easy and so good. You can use mild Picante sauce if you are a spicy wimp!
