Mexican Jambalaya

This is a tasty way to use up some leftover rice! It's really flexible, just add whatever you have on hand and season to taste.

1 Tbs oil
1/2 onion, diced or sliced as desired
green or red pepper, diced (opt.)
   (other vegetables optional: zucchini, etc.)
1 can diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies (or 1 1/2 cups salsa*)
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can corn or hominy, rinsed
shredded chicken, opt.
2-3 cups cooked rice (we prefer brown)
chili powder* to taste
cumin* to taste
salt and pepper to taste
*if using salsa, may not need as much seasoning

Saute the onion and vegetables in the oil. Add the tomatoes and cook off some of the liquid (or add the salsa). Add the beans, corn/hominy, and rice. Stir and cook until heated through.
