- Rice: Add rice, water and tomato juice to a pot, turn heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all of the liquid is absorbed.
- Tomatoes: Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place whole stewed tomatoes on cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. (Fresh grated would be best but the stuff in the can works just as well). Roast for 15 minutes.
- Veggies: While the rice and tomatoes are cooking heat oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes. Add peppers and the chilies. Cook for about 5 minutes and then add the beans and corn.
- Add the rice to the veggies along with 1/2 cup of the cheese and let it simmer on very low heat for about 5 minutes. To serve, put the rice on a plate then place 2 or 3 tomatoes on top, sprinkle with cheese and add a dollop of sour cream and green onions. Iâve found that this is most delicious the next day, just add more cheese and sour cream and wrap it in a tortilla.
