    Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion and the corn until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the rinsed rice and the grated garlic. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Mix in the ½ Mexican spice, 1⁄2 the chopped jalapeños (to taste), and 350ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer until the water has been absorbed, 25-30 minutes.
