Note
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.
For added texture, consider mixing in chopped onions, bell peppers, or fresh cilantro before baking. You can also substitute the green enchilada sauce with a mild red salsa for a different flavor profile.
Ensure the rice is fully cooked and slightly cooled before mixing with the muffin mix to prevent clumping. If the mixture seems too dry before baking, add a splash more water or vegetable broth.
