Directly into the baking dish, add the rice, black beans, salsa, vegetable broth, taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of cheese.
Stir to combine the ingredients and cover with foil. Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, discard the foil, and stir the ingredients around in the baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake for an additional 12 minutes, uncovered, or until the cheese is melted. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
