1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
In a medium covered skillet, over medium heat, add olive oil, carrots, onions, and celery. Saute until onions are translucent. Stirring occasionally.
Add zucchini, corn, and spices and stir just until the veggies are coated.
Add the rice and beans and stir into the veggies. Pat this into an even layer and add stock on top to cover. Place the lid on the pan and turn heat down to medium low/low (depending on your stovetop) to simmer for 20 minutes.
When the rice has absorbed all the stock, fluff with a fork. Serve warm with optional toppings
