Add the corn and tomato to the skillet and stir to mix well. If using leftover rice add it now, otherwise let the mixture continue to cook while you make the rice.
1 cup frozen corn kernels, 1 tomato, 2 cups rice
Follow the package directions and nake the rice in the microwave for 90 seconds.
Add the heated rice to the skillet and stir to mix it all together. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Put the cheese on top of the skillet and cook for 2 minutes to let the cheese melts.
¾ cup cheddar cheese
Serve the taco rice skillet as is or add any taco toppings you like - sour cream, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, olives and tomatoes are all delicious.
