Instructions
Bring rice and 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Stir chili beans, tomato sauce, and 3/4 cup water through the cooked rice; bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Pour rice mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread sour cream over the rice mixture.
Sprinkle crushed corn chips over the sour cream layer; top with Mexican cheese blend.
Bake in preheated oven until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. One wine you could try is Jimmy John's Vin De Sandwich Pinot Noir. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.
