3. Add the Rice & Spices

  1. Stir in the uncooked rice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  1. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, black beans, corn, and broth.
  2. Stir everything together, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  3. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

5. Add the Cheese & Serve
