vegetable-oil cooking spray. Spoon the rice into the pan to cover the
bottom evenly and make a high rim.

cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove the pan sides; place the
tart on a serving plate. Garnish with dairy sour cream, chopped green
chilies and black olives, if you wish, and serve with additional picante
sauce.
