Mexican Rice Tart
Yield: 6 Servings
CRUST
1 1/4 c Long-grain rice
2 tb Green onion: sliced
2 Egg whites
FILLING
1/3 c Jack Cheese; shredded
1 c Chicken Breast; cooked
2 tb Green onion; sliced
2/3 c Picante Sauce; bottled
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
Sour cream
Green onions; sliced
Prepare Crust: Cook rice following package directions, salt optional.
Drain to remove any excess liquid. Cool slightly. Lightly beat egg
whites in small bowl; stir green onions. Stir egg-white mixture into
rice. Coat inside of 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom with
nonstick vegetable-oil cooking spray. Spoon the rice into the pan to
cover the bottom evenly and make a high rim.
Prepare the filling:
Scatter half the cheese over the crust. Shred the cooked chicken
breast and combine with green onion and picante sauce in a
medium-size bowl. Spread on the crust. Preheat oven to 350~. Bake
tart for 20 minutes. Scatter the remaining cheese over top and bake
for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Let stand
for 10 minutes. Remove the pan sides; place the tart on a serving
dish. Garnish with dairy sour cream and serve with additional
picante sauce.
