Step 3

Stir in the black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, chipotle peppers, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 5

Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
