Recipe Notes:
- Storage suggestion: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Possible substitutions: You can use a different color of bell pepper (yellow, green, orange). You can use brown rice to substitute white rice, simply cook longer (as long as the rice package directs). You can remove jalapeno from the ingredients if you prefer less spicy rice.
