Meanwhile, heat olive oil in deep skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering.

Add ground beef and salt and cook over medium-low heat, stirring slightly, leaving meat in coarse chunks.

When beef is almost browned, add chopped onion and cook until onion is tender, but not browned.

When onion is tender, spoon off any excess fat and discard.

Stir in chili powder, cumin, drained tomatoes, drained corn, and green pepper strips.

Bring to a boil and let cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in as much hot cooked rice as desired.

Cover with a lid that fits. Turn off heat and let stand 5 minutes.

Serve while hot.
