Tex-Mex Fried Rice.

I love this rachael ray side! It's so good with anything mexican food related. To use as a side or to put in burritos. Love the hominy! When I make it I usually cook the rice sometime during the day or use any leftovers.

extra virgin olive oil
1 14-ounce can hominy or 2 ears of corn, kernels removed
1 small red onion, chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
2 cups cooked short grain brown rice
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 to 3 small tomatoes, seeded and diced
A few dashes hot sauce (more if you like it spicy!)
Salt and ground black pepper

Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of oil, about a tablespoon. Add the hominy, onion, jalapeño and garlic to the pan, and cook until the veggies are golden brown, 5-6 minutes.

Add the rice to the pan and continue cooking until the rice is light golden and crispy, 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cilantro, tomatoes and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
