Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Cook rice according to package directions (I used my handy rice cooker)
3. In a large pot or skillet, brown the beef. Once cooked, drain and return to the pot. Add the 1tbsp of water and the taco seasoning to the meat. Mix well and set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the rice, beans, 1/2 of the enchilada sauce, diced chilis, chipotle pepper and the cilantro. Mix well.
5. Layer the bottom of the baking dish with 4 corn tortillas. Spread half of the beef mixture on top of the tortillas. Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese over the beef and then add a layer of half of the rice/bean mixture. Pour a little of the enchilada sauce over the rice/bean mixture. Add another layer of 4 corn tortillas, the rest of the beef, another 1/3 of the cheese, the rest of the rice/bean mixture and then pour a little of the enchilada sauce over the rice/bean mixture. Add another layer of 4 corn tortillas and top with the rest of the enchilada sauce, the rest of the cheese and the jalapenos.
6. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes
