- Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in rice, broth, beans, and salsa and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover skillet with a tightly fitting lid, and let everything simmer over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes or until rice is done and has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Remove from heat and stir.
- Replace lid and let sit covered for 5 more minutes to thicken up (will still be slightly goopy).
While the rice is simmering, make your corn and peppers:

- Remove to separate bowl for serving.
- In the same pan, add another 1.5 tablespoon olive oil.
- Add chopped red pepper, chili powder, and cumin, then cook over medium-high heat, stirring only occasionally, for about 4 minutes or until peppers brown.
- Remove to separate bowl for serving.
