👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Pour white rice into a casserole dish and season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, and oregano.

Pour in olive oil and stir until rice is thoroughly coated with oil.

Add salsa, chicken broth, and kidney beans; stir until evenly combined.

Cover very tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven until rice is tender, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Remove foil, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, and fluff with a fork.
