Ready In
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the cooked shredded chicken with salsa, cumin, and oregano in a large bowl.
- Prepare Knorr(R) Fiesta Sides(TM) - Mexican Rice according to package directions. Remove from the heat.
- Stir rice and shredded cheese into the chicken mixture. Divide the mixture among flour tortillas; wrap and place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush with oil.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes. Serve, if desired, with your favorite toppings.
Footnotes
- I've partnered with Knorr® to let you know what I think about Fiesta Sides™. As always, all opinions are my own.
- Recipe Notes:
- Rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe.
- Use your favorite salsa, or fire roasted tomatoes with green chilies.
- Cheddar or pepper jack cheese can be substituted for the colby-jack.
- Because of the high oven temperature, olive oil is not recommended for brushing the tortillas.

I added black beans and used a Jambalaya rice mix. It was awesome! My adult son loved it. He took the leftovers home and actually asked me how to reheat without a microwave!

These are pretty easy to make and are good, but not super-delicious. They come out with a nice crisp shell. I started with uncooked tortillas, which might have made them a little tastier. I also...

My picky husband loved it. It made 5, but it easily could have been 6 or 8. We each ate 1 and were a little too full. I used a mexican cheese blend and spanish yellow rice and it was perfect....
