Instructions
Cook your rice according to the instructions.

Pour about half the enchilada sauce on top of the rice.
Mix your spices with 1 1/4 cups of cheese in a bowl.
Add enough enchilada sauce to the cheese mixture just to make it stick together.
Warm up the tortillas but placing them in the microwave for about 10 seconds.
Divide the cheese mixture evenly between the 8 tortillas.
Roll the tortillas into small cylinders and place them on top of the rice in the baking dish. Make sure it is seam side down.
