Add shredded chicken and coat it well with tomato mixture.
Place cooked rice in the bottom of a 13 X 9 X 2 or disposable baking pan.

(You may want to flash freeze at this point before going on to the next step) Top with 1-2 cans of refried beans so you have a nice even coating.
Freeze in the disposable pan or pop out and put in freezer bag.

After thawing top with grated cheese.
