Prepare the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. For pork carnitas: Warm the carnitas in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. For grilled shrimp: Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through.

In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the black beans and corn, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
