1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional for added heat)
2 cups long-grain white rice ((such as jasmine or basmati))
1 (14.5-oz.) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes ((sub 1 cup jarred salsa))
2 (15.5-oz.) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth ((sub water))
1/3 cup sliced green olives
3 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 tsp. lemon zest, plus 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
