Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Vegetables

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, and shredded carrots. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Combine Rice and Vegetables

    Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    To assemble, place a generous portion of the veggie and rice mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve warm. Enjoy your Veggies & Rice, Flour Tortillas on Cheese!
