NOTE:
For those who don't like spicy food, and you like this composition, leave out only the hot peppers and the addition of crushed pepper. In exchange for that, add 1 teaspoon of red ground pepper instead.
You can certainly combine with smoked bacon, which you will put right after the onion. I didn't put it on because I have already chicken grilled cubes.
From vegetables, you can add celery stalks and sweet corn.
As for the grilled chicken cubes. You will first cut them into fillets about 3 cm thick, then cut them into cubes. Place them in a deep bowl, mix with a pinch of salt and pepper, and olive oil. Mix well and cook directly on the grill pan, stirring occasionally, until well browned on all sides. Add next to Mexican rice.
Food can stay in the fridge for up to 2 days. Do not heat the rice, but take it out early in the morning before eating lunch.
