- Add all of the seasonings and let become fragrant. About 1 minute.
- Then add the black beans, corn, salsa, rice, and chicken broth.
- Cover and let simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the broth has been absorbed.Sammy's tip: Remove the lid during the last 5 minutes of cooking to allow any remaining liquid to absorb.
