2. Remove from pan and set in another container to the side.
3. Add olive oil to pan, then add onions, peppers, and garlic.
4. Sautee until just translucent.
5. Season with remaining cumin and oregano.
6. Add salsa to skillet and stir to combine.
7. On the side, mix taco seasoning packet with water or if using ready made enchilada sauce, simply add to pan and stir.
8. Add beans to skillet, then add rice, then corn, and stir more!
9. Reduce to simmer.
10. Shred cheese and top skillet. Cover for a few minutes to allow cheese to melt.
