For a richer flavor, toast the rice in the olive oil for a longer time until it turns golden brown before adding the other ingredients. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference. Feel free to add other vegetables such as corn, peas, or diced zucchini for added nutrition and flavor. For a more intense tomato flavor, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
