Add chopped onion and both red and orange bell peppers to the skillet; cook for about 3 minutes until softened.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, chili powder, dried oregano, and garlic powder; cook for about 1 minute to enhance flavors.

Add white rice, rinsed and drained black beans, and frozen corn to the skillet.

Pour in chicken broth and stir well to combine all ingredients.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and let cook undisturbed for about 15 minutes.

After cooking, remove the lid and top with cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro; squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving.
