I used half the cilantro called for and there was still too much. I also used half of the chili powder. I've never heard of rice cheese but one ounce of cheese for an entire casserole? I used about a cup of low fat cheddar. I will continue to modify the recipe and use it because I think it has great potential. Thanks for submitting it.
