Cooking Steps

Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
Wash and dry all produce.
Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
Meanwhile, core then cut bell pepper into ½ inch pieces.
Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.

To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
When hot, add chorizo. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Add Mexican Seasoning and cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
Season with salt and pepper. Transfer chorizo to a plate. Set aside.

Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften.
Add corn and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp.
