Original Recipe Yield 16 wraps
 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked brown rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 (15 ounce) cans black beans
  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans pinto beans
  • 1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles
  • 16 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 pound shredded pepperjack cheese
