Tex Mex Rice Cakes - Easy Side Dishes
On nights when I'm stumped as to what to make for dinner, I make these Tex-Mex Rice Cakes. Since I always have the rest of the ingredients on hand, it only takes me minutes to prepare. The best part is that I can make a few extra for Kenya's school lunch the next day.
