Add sliced chicken, pork, and chorizo; cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the rice, ensuring it is well coated with the oil and mixed with the meats and vegetables.

Pour in enough water to cover the rice by about an inch; add bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.

8

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender.

Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to steam.
