4 servings Prep: 5 mins Cook: 25 mins
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

- 1 1/2 cups red salsa
- 2 cups thawed frozen corn
- 1 15 ounce can sliced large black olives
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

- In a heavy medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the rice and stir for 1 minute to coat. Stir in 1-1/2 cups water and the salsa and bring to a boil, stirring once or twice. Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
