Prevent overcooking rice by using brown rice or being mindful that white rice cooks quicker and may become mushy
Add fresh or frozen vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, peas, green beans, onions, mushrooms or carrots
Assemble in advance then store in fridge overnight
For a creamier recipe, top with an extra layer of cheese before serving
For a spicier recipe, drizzle with hot sauce, sriracha, buffalo or sprinkle with chili powder.
