Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onions and jalapeños, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Add Broth Gradually
Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb most of the liquid before adding more broth. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes.
