How to Make It
- Cook rice according to package directions.
- Warm beans and corn together with cumin and chili powder, 5 minutes.
- Build bowls: rice, beans and corn, bell pepper, and a squeeze of lime.

- Serve warm.
No-Time-For-That Tip: Warm the beans in their own liquid a few minutes before draining — it keeps them from drying out.
