2. Add the onion, peppers, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the rice and stir to coat, cook for about 3 minutes while stirring to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

5. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender, stirring often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
