Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
- 1 (7 oz approx.) cured chorizo sausage, cut into slices (read recipe notes for substitutes)
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced (I use green and red)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup white rice, uncooked
- 1 can (10 oz) Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups (480 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup (113 g) shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend (or more to taste)
- Chopped cilantro to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Note: If you are using ground meat instead of chorizo, you must season the meat with salt and black pepper or taco seasoning.
- Add onion, pepper, and garlic; cook 5 minutes more or until vegetables are fragrant and tender.
- Stir in the rice and let it toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add Ro*Tel® tomatoes, corn, black beans, and broth; mix to combine. Bring to a boil. Let it cook uncovered, over medium heat, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 - 7 minutes. Then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10-15 minutes or until rice is tender. Sprinkle the cheese on top, cover, and cook for 1 -2 more minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Garnish with cilantro, if desired. Serve.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze: Transfer to a freezer-friendly bag or container and keep frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat on the stove or in the microwave until warm. You’ll want to add a splash of water or broth to moisten it again.
Recipe Tips:
- For extra flavor. Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning to the broth.
- Toppings. Use as many toppings as your heart desires. My favorites are guacamole, sour cream, and fresh salsa.
- Meat. I love using chorizo because it’s already seasoned and full of flavor. But feel free to use any meat you like, such as 1 lb. ground beef, chicken, turkey, or pork. When using ground meat, you must season it when you brown it. You can just season with salt, black pepper, or taco seasoning for extra flavor.
- Spicy. Add a sliced jalapeño pepper when sautéing the other veggies (step 2).
