I don't recall mentioning the term 'tacky', but if that's what you think, so
be it. Soggy crescent rolls just don't appeal to me, that's all. IME, corn
tortillas wouldn't get too soggy, so I guess that's why they are usually
used for King Ranch Chicken. However, making the sauce and pouring it over
rice sounds OK. And yes, more veggies and a bit of sherry wouldn't hurt
either.
