Instructions
- Wash and prepare all of the fresh produce. Cook the rice as per the directions on the package.
- While the rice cooks, combine the corn, tomato, ½ of the jalapeño and ¼ of the cilantro in a small bowl to make a homemade pico de gallo. Set Aside.
- In a deep frying pan, sauté the onion, garlic, and rest of the jalapeño over medium-high heat, until fragrant. (Approximately 3 minutes.)
