Add Sofrito and mix until it darkens in color.

Add the packet of Sasson and the can of corn with its liquid; bring to a boil.

Stir in cumin and oregano, but not the salt yet.

Add the rice and stir to coat it well.

Add enough water to cover the rice, approximately 2 cups.

Let it cook on medium-high heat until most of the water evaporates, about 7 minutes.

Stir the rice and reduce heat to medium-low (2.5) and cover; cook for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, check the rice; it should be fluffy and done.
