Notes

For a gluten-free version, use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
Make it extra creamy by adding a small can of cream of chicken soup to the mixture.
For a clean eating recipe, swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa.
Add fresh toppings like avocado, cilantro, or lime juice for extra flavor.
Make it ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.
