In a large skillet, over medium heat, fry the bacon until just crisp. Add the jalapenos and saute until slightly softened. Stir in the zesty rice salad and cook until rice is heated through. Add corn, diced tomatoes, and chili seasoning. Continue to fry on medium heat until corn is cooked and tomatoes are hot. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.

  • 1/2 medium red onion, diced
  • 1 yellow pepper, diced
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can red beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro leaves

Heat oil over medium heat in a medium sauce pot. Add garlic, and rice and saute for 2 minutes until rice is toasted.

    This is better & more flavorful than the zesty fried rice on its own but still was just okay. I *love* the round two concept to stretch a dollar but I'll probably pass on this one for a bit.
