Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes.

WHILE DISH IS BAKING, MAKE SAUCE:

Add green chiles and sour cream. Cook until smooth.

Remove baking dish from oven and pour sauce over casserole and top with cheese.

Bake about 5 to 10 minutes longer until cheese is melted.

I love the Santa Fe Style Rice & Beans from Lean Cuisine so I decided to create one of my own. Make it as a meatless meal or serve as a side dish.....yum!!
