Instructions

  1. To a large skillet, add the olive oil, onions, and cook over medium-high heat until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes; stir frequently.
  2. Add the red pepper, sausage, garlic, cumin, optional cayenne, and stir to combine. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes; stir occasionally.
  3. Add the rice, beans, corn, broth, and stir to combine. Cook for about 3 minutes or until everything is warmed though; stir occasionally.
  4. Add the green onions, cilantro, salt, pepper, stir to combine, check for seasoning balance and if desired add more salt, pepper, cumin, etc.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • *I used precooked Spanish rice to both save time and add flavor but you can go with your favorite type of rice. Just make sure the rice is already cooked when adding it to the skillet. 
  • Leftovers will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
