  • 12 ounce chorizo or pork sausage

  • 2 cup frozen whole kernel corn

  • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 cup uncooked instant rice

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 15 ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

  • ¾ cup shredded Mexican-blend cheeses or Colby and Monterey Jack cheese (3 ounces)
