  3. Meanwhile, heat tortillas in a large skillet (so that they are soft enough to fold).
  4. When rice mixture is ready, spoon equal amounts of the following onto each tortilla: Chicken, shredded Jack cheese, diced onion, olives, rice mixture and beans.
  5. Roll tortillas, tucking in sides to prevent filling from spilling over.
