  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 3 green onions chopped + more for topping
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil over medium hight heat in a large skillet. Add the onion, red pepper, salsa, habanero, garlic powder, cumin and coriander. Saute until the veggies are heated through and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the 90-second rice according to the instructions on the package. Dump the cooked rice into the skillet with the sauted veggies.
