Directions

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.

Stir together enchilada sauce, beans, corn, rice, bell pepper, red onion, cream, taco seasoning, salt, paprika, cumin, and 3 cups shredded cheese in a large bowl until well combined.

Spread into the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Arrange taquitos evenly over rice mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven until taquitos are crispy and rice mixture is bubbling, about 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, and pickling liquid in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside, uncovered, at room temperature until ready to serve.

Remove baking dish from oven, and sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese. Top evenly with jalapeño slices. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until cheese is melted, about 8 minutes more.

Let stand for 10 minutes. Top evenly with cilantro leaves. Drizzle each serving with jalapeño crema.
