Original recipe using the brown rice came from a package of Chi-Chi's tortillas. I like using the beans and making a rice dish as a side.

How To Make vegetable enchiladas

  • Step 2
    Stir in brown rice, green chilies, cumin and garlic powder.
  • Step 3
    Pour half of enchilada sauce into a 9x13 baking pan.
  • Step 4
    Divide rice mixture among tortillas. Roll up. Place seam-side down in baking pan. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over tortillas.
  • Step 5
    Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and olives. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let sit a few minutes before serving.
  • Step 6
    Note - Can substitute other vegetables to your liking or use jalapenos instead of chilies if you prefer more heat.
