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.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
