Instructions

1
Start by preparing the rice. For this, add a tablespoon of olive oil in a pot, and once it is hot, add the sliced clove of garlic. When it begins to lightly brown, add the rice. Stir it for a couple of minutes before adding the hot water with a pinch of salt. Cook over high heat for 7 minutes and then turn down the heat to low and cook for 8 more minutes. If in this time, it absorbed all of the water and is still hard, add more water. Let it sit for a little bit.
2
Wash the bell peppers and the lettuce. Dice the bell peppers, and slice the lettuce and onion. Finely chop the cilantro.
3
Put the vegetables you have just cut into a bowl and add the cooked rice, tuna, and drained corn. Enjoy!
