2nd Step
After adding the onion and garlic, continue to cook until the onion is soft, season with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and give everything a good stir.
3rd Step
Mix in the rice, a cup and a half of either beef or vegetable broth, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and corn. Stir well.
4th Step
Bring the liquid to a boil. Rice is considered cooked after it has been allowed to simmer for 15 to 18 minutes with the lid on the skillet and the heat turned down.
5th Step
If more liquid is required, add another half cup’s worth of broth. Take note that, unlike white rice, brown rice takes significantly longer to cook and often requires additional liquid while doing so.
6th Step
Remove from heat and top with the toppings of your choice, such as shredded cheese, cilantro, non-fat Greek yogurt, salsa, diced tomatoes, or jalapeno slices.
