- 1 14 1/2 oz can tomato sauce
- 1 1 1/4 oz envelope taco seasoning
- 1 15 - 30 oz can refried beans

- 1 cup tomatoes chopped (optional)
- 1 cup guacamole optional
- 1/2 cup sour cream optional

Instructions
-
Mix taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Add shredded chicken and coat it well with tomato mixture. Place cooked rice in the bottom of a 13 X 9 X 2 or disposable baking pan. Top with chicken mixture.
-
(You may want to flash freeze at this point before going on to the next step. Freeze in the disposable pan or pop out and put in freezer bag.)
-
Top with 1-2 cans of refried beans so you have a nice even coating. Top with grated cheese.
-
Bake uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes at 350F or until hot all the way through and the cheese is nice and bubbly.
-
Top with your favorite toppings or dip with tortilla chips!
Enjoy!
