- Pour the skillet food, cooked rice, and chopped tomato (and other optional ingredients like lime juice & cilantro) into a food processor and pulse it a few times to get the texture you desire.
- Return the ingredients to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Stir in nutritional yeast if using for a little bit of a cheesy flavor.
