Instructions
Turn a 12-cup muffin tin upside down. Nestle 6 corn tortillas in the space between the cups to form a “bowl.” Kids will enjoy helping form the bowls.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 190°C/375°F until firm and beginning to brown, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Cook Uncle Ben’s® rice according to directions on the pack.
While the rice is still warm, transfer to a large bowl.
Mix in black beans, corn, tomatoes and 2 tablespoons cheese. Let your children be in charge of sprinkling the cheese into the mixture.
Fill the shells with the rice and bean mixture.
Top evenly with remaining cheese.
Let the little chefs add their favourite toppings like avocado, coriander, or olives.
