delicious! this is just a great combination of flavors. my alterations: I used about half the amount of rice called for; I used only half an onion & added three or four cloves of minced garlic; I used a can of diced tomatoes with jalapeños because I had it on hand (this was a good choice!); I used 2 tsps of "colorado seasoning" instead of chili powder; I omitted the salt because the canned tomatoes were salty already; and I used between 2 & 3 cups of cheese because I needed to get rid of it. oh, and I used pepper jack instead of cheddar (personal preference). instead of layering the rice/bean mixture with the tomato mixture, I just mixed up everything, except the cheese, in one bowl. I think this worked really well because it allowed the rice & beans to better soak in the flavors of the tomato mixture. I layered the rice/beans/tomato with the cheese, and it came out great. it would make a wonderful dinner for when it's cold out.
