Expert Tips: Salsa may be substituted for the pico de gallo in this recipe. Precooked rice is available for purchase in the frozen section of the grocery store and is a convenient alternative to the cooked rice in this recipe. You may also use 1 1/2 cups leftover cooked rice, heated in microwave. Variation: Try Old El Paso™ Creamy Salsa Verde sauce as an alternative to the creamy queso sauce.
