Directions

MAKING

7. For the filling – In a large bowl, add in salt and pepper to the spinach, rice, and chicken, half the mozzarella, 2 tablespoons of grated Pecorino Romano, and 1/4 cup of sauce stir for a few minutes.
8. Spoon about 1/2 cup of sauce onto the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
9. Evenly divide the filling among the tortillas, make rolls and place them seam side down in the casserole dish.
10. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas making sure that they are completely covered and use a spoon to work some of the sauce between the rolls to prevent them from sticking together.
