INGREDIENTS

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Coat 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Coat large, nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add peppers, onions and cumin; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Step 3

Meanwhile, combine 1 1/4 cups evaporated milk, cheese and chilies in small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until cheese has melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Stir 3/4 cup of cheese sauce into heated brown rice; reserve remaining cheese sauce.

Step 4

Combine refried beans and remaining 1/4 cup evaporated milk in medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH (100% power) for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring after each minute or until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Fill tortillas with hot beans, rice and vegetables, dividing equally. Fold sides over filling. Place filled burritos, seam-side down, in prepared baking dish. Top with remaining cheese sauce. Cover with foil.

Step 6

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Serve with salsa and guacamole, if desired.

TIPS:

• Cooked chicken or ground beef may be added to filling. • Look for precooked ready-to-use brown rice to save prep time.
