• Heat the tortillas as the label directs. Arrange the rice horizontally in the lower half of each tortilla, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on all sides. Top evenly with the cheese, chicken mixture, lettuce and the remaining pico de gallo.

Arrange side by side in the prepared baking dish and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
