Nachos Rice with Corn and Basil Salsa [RECIPE]

I recently participated in a cooking event at our apartment. The event was 'Cooking without Fire' and had many constraints which was perfect to bring out the creativity. I wanted to share my recipe here.

Here were the rules:

• Participants must use boiled rice as an ingredient.
• Only 1 other ingredient can be cooked apart from rice.
• All ingredients must be assembled and plated at the venue and no use of fire or heat is allowed.
• One may use other ready-made store bought dry ingredients.

I decided to use Mexican flavors and made nachos rice with corn and basil salsa. It  turned out nicely and you can make this as  an evening snack for the family. Try it out and let me know how do you like it.
