Preparation

Step 1

Cook brown rice --> I like this method
Heat oven to 350and grease a 9x9 baking dish
In a mixing bowl, stir together the shredded chicken and enchilada sauce. Mix in the rice and beans and stir until it's all combined
Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9x9 dish and top with the green peppers, then the shredded cheese and chili flakes
Bake for 25-30 minutes, then broil for 2-3 to get a bit of crispiness to the layer of cheese
