Steps (6 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    (Cook rice, if needed). Heat skillet over medium heat. Add chopped bacon and cook for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add garlic, onion and green onion; cook for 5 minutes or until onions begin to soften. Add celery, bell pepper, peanuts and jalapeno; cook for 5 minutes

  3. 3

    Add corn, cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper and soy sauce; cook for 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the cooked rice and butter; saute for 5-10 minutes or until flavors are integrated and rice is slightly crispy.

  5. 5

    With your spatula, create a space to add the eggs (you want the eggs directly on the skillet). Crack the eggs into the hole you created; fry for 4 minutes, then fold remaining ingredients over the eggs to integrate them.
