Method
Cook rice (if not using Mexican rice):
1. Combine rice, Emeril's, and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to low, cover; simmer for 45 minutes, until tender.
3. Remove from heat; cool.
Mix the filling ingredients:
4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled rice with the rest of the filling ingredients.
5. Weigh the filling to find out how much to portion for each wrap. You want around 140g of filling per wrap. Make a note of this number.
To finish:
6. Microwave filling for 2 wraps on 50% for 5 minutes, then 100% for 90 seconds.
7. Refrigerate or freeze remaining filling. Make that into wraps just before eating.
8. Make 2 wraps.
9. Place under grill for 6-7 minutes to crisp up the tortilla.
10. Serve and enjoy.
