3 cups cooked white rice 4 tablespoons olive oil divided 1 small onion finely diced 2 garlic cloves minced 1 cup frozen corn thawed 1 4- ounce can green chiles drained 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes 1 teaspoon cumin 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 green onions
Over medium-high heat, add two tablespoons of the olive oil to a sizable skillet.
Add the onion to the hot oil and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until tender.
When the liquid has been boiled entirely, add the tomatoes, corn, and green chiles and simmer for a further 2 to 3 minutes.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the garlic starts to brown, after adding the seasonings and the garlic.
Rice that has been cooked and the remaining olive oil should be added. Reduce the heat to medium.
Stirring often will help the rice and flavors combine during the 4 to 5 minutes of cooking.
Green onions should be added after the pan has been taken off the heat.
Add the remaining green onions on top.
