This spicy rice with peppers dish is the perfect accompaniment for a Tex-Mex or Southwestern main dish. It's also terrific on its own, perhaps with some cooked chicken or sautéed shrimp stirred in and/or Pepper Jack or Cheddar cheese grated over the top.
Warm oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and peppers and cook until vegetables are just tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, cumin and chili powder and cook for another minute.
Reduce heat to medium low, add rice and cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. If rice starts sticking to the pan, reduce heat further.
