Instructions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add rice and onions and cook until rice is slightly browned and onions are tender
Stir in tomatoes and green chiles, water, chili powder, and cumin.
Bring mixture to a boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, about 15-18 minutes.
When rice is tender, uncover. Add beans, corn, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar to the rice mixture (Add cilantro now, too, if you're using). Stir to combine.
Scoop rice mixture into tortillas.
Fold over 2 opposite sides of the tortilla, then roll into a burrito.
Place rolled burritos in a lightly greased 9"x13" baking dish.
Pour enchilada sauce on top of the burritos. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and burritos are heated through.
