1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 can (14.5 ounce size) stewed tomatoes

directions

Stir together onion, carrot, green pepper and oil in microwave-safe 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking dish to coat vegetables. Microwave, uncovered, on high power for 4 minutes.

Add garlic, tomatoes, zucchini, chicken broth, taco seasoning and salt. Microwave, uncovered, on high power for 3 minutes.

Add chicken; stir to evenly distribute. Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap, venting slightly at one corner. Microwave on high power for 5 minutes.

Rotate dish. Uncover; stir. Recover, venting. Microwave on high power for 5 minutes.

Uncover. Stir in rice. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 5 minutes.

Spoon about 3/4 cup filling onto center of each tortilla. Fold up each side of tortilla as if wrapping a package. Place, seam side down, in microwave-safe 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking dish. Brush about 1 tablespoon of water over top of burritos. Sprinkle evenly with taco cheese.

Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap, venting at one corner. Microwave on high 5 minutes, until heated through. Serve warm with Salsa Beans.

For Salsa Beans: Combine kidney beans, pinto beans, salsa and salt in microwave-safe medium-size bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, vented; microwave on high for 2 minutes, until heated through.

Conventional Cooking Method: Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot and green pepper; saute until softened, about 6 minutes.

Add chicken and garlic; cook, breaking up chicken into small pieces, until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, zucchini, broth, taco seasoning and salt; cook, covered, 4 minutes, just until zucchini is tender.

Remove from heat; stir in rice. Cover; let stand 5 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spoon about 3/4 cup filling onto center of each tortilla. Fold up each side as if wrapping package.

Place, seam side down, in 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with taco cheese. Heat in 375 degrees F oven 10 minutes, until heated through.

For Salsa Beans: Heat all ingredients in saucepan over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes.
