Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry orzo pasta
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth (sub vegetable broth for vegetarian)
- 2 15-ounce cans mild or medium red enchilada sauce
- 1 15-ounce can yellow corn drained and rinsed
- 1 15-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- optional toppings: avocado, tomatoes, chopped cilantro, olives, sour cream, salsa
Instructions
- First, get out the pot that you want to cook in. I like a dutch oven or deep cast iron with a lid. Next, combine the orzo, broth, enchilada sauce, corn, beans, and seasonings together and stir to combine.
- Add the lid and cook the enchilada skillet dish over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the orzo is tender.
- Uncover the dish, give it a stir, and sprinkle the cheese on top. Cover the dish up again and allow it to cook 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Add any desired toppings and serve.
Notes
Leftovers: Any enchilada orzo skillet leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Store toppings separately from the orzo dish in the refrigerator.
- Let a hot dish like this cool to room temperature before putting away any leftovers.
