Rice casseroles are probably the most versatile because you can go from savory to sweet just like that and with a casserole that has a Mexican twist to it you really can't go wrong at all. I'm not sure how I feel about the corn, but I think a fresh lettuce salad with some tomatoes and avocados would be delicious on the side or as a garnish.

This casserole was tasty, but I think the real burst of flavor comes from the toppings you add such as lime, sour cream, salsa, etc. I would definitely make this dish again - especially if I'm short on time and want a filling, comforting meal.
