Chicken Rice Burritoes

1/3 cup sliced greens onions
1 garlic clove minced (I buy already minced in spice aisle)
2 tablespoons butter
7 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 tablespoon chili powder
2- 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
16 oz jar picante sauce 
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives (optional)
3 cups(12 oz) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
12 flour tortilla (10 inches), warmed
Additional picante sauce and cheddar cheese

In a skillet, saute onions and garlic in butter until tender (I wait until everything else is about to be done)
Stir in chicken, chili powder, 1/4 cup broth and 3/4 cup of picante sauce.
Heat through and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring rice and remaining broth to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
Stir in remaining picante sauce; cover and simmer 5-10 minutes or until rice is tender.
Stir into chicken mixture.
Add olives (optional), and 2 cups of cheese.
Spoon 1 cup of filling, off center on each tortilla.
Fold sides & ends over filling, then roll up.
Arrange burritos in 2 ungreased baking dishes and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
You can garnish with picante sauce and cheese.
