                                          • Boil water.
                                          • Place 1 qt brown rice (1 lb 9 oz) in each steam table pan (12″ x 20″ x 2½″).
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                          • Pour boiling water (1 qt 1 cup per steam table pan) over brown rice. Stir. Cover pans tightly.
                                          • Bake:
                                            Conventional oven: 350 °F for 40 minutes.
                                            Convection oven: 325 °F for 40 minutes.
                                            Steamer: 5 lb pressure for 25 minutes.
                                          • Remove cooked rice from oven and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Stir rice.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Heat to 140 °F or higher.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 140 °F or higher.
                                          • Set aside for step 15.
                                          • Place ground beef in a large stock pot. Cook uncovered over medium–high heat for 5–8 minutes. Stir often until meat is well done.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Heat to 165 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • Remove meat from heat. Drain beef in a colander. Return meat to heat.
                                          • Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, 2 Tbsp ancho chili powder, and water. Heat uncovered over medium–high heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set remaining ancho chili powder aside for step 17. Recommend to cook in batches of 25.
                                          • Set aside for step 16.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 140 °F or higher.
                                          • Pour 1 qt 2 cups (about 2 lb) cooked rice into a food processor on medium speed for 2–3 minutes or until rice has a smooth consistency. DO NOT OVERMIX. Set remaining rice aside for step 16.

                                          • Pour 3 qt 3 cups (about 5 lb 10 oz) rice and meat mixture into a steam table pan (12" x 20" x 2½") lightly coated with pan release spray. Press surface firmly until flat and even.
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                          • For each pan, cut 9 tortillas in half. Place the straight edge of the tortillas around the sides of the pan and overlap the remaining tortilla halves to cover the top of the rice and bean mixture.
                                          • Spread 1 qt 2 cups (about 2 lb 13 oz) tomato mixture on top of tortillas. Spread evenly.
                                          • Sprinkle 2 cups (about 8 oz) cheese over each pan.
                                          • Bake:
                                            Conventional oven: 350 °F for 30 minutes.

                                          • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 140 °F or higher.
                                          • Combine tomatoes and lettuce in a large bowl. Sprinkle ¼ cup (about 1 oz) salad topping over each piece.
                                          • Portion: Cut each pan 5 x 5 (25 pieces per pan).
                                            Serve 1 piece (about 2” x 3¾”).
