Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

This fold gives leftover-style comfort using rice prepared fresh for the recipe. Keeping the crunchy layer separate until assembly makes a big difference when every other ingredient is soft.

Make it

Equipment: Heat-safe bowl or mug; clean spoon; measuring cup and spoons; safe hot-water source. Use the cooking equipment required by the product label.

Ingredients

2 flour tortillas, 8 inch
3/4 cup freshly prepared instant rice
1/2 cup ready-to-eat refried beans
2 tbsp salsa
2 tbsp cheese sauce
1/3 cup crushed corn chips

Method

Prepare rice following its package directions and measure 3/4 cup.
Stir rice, beans, salsa and cheese together.
Spoon onto tortillas and add corn chips in a narrow central strip.
Fold sides in, roll, and serve immediately.

The useful detail

Use the back of a spoon to flatten the mixed filling into a short central strip before adding the chips. Leave a clean border for folding.

When the store is different

Replace rice with prepared instant mashed potatoes for a softer filling.

Serving & handling

Prepare starches fresh and follow package cooking directions. Serve promptly; hydrated grains and mixed meals require proper handling. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
