When the grill reaches 400°F, add the oil and the onion to the pan along with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Put the lid down and cook, stirring once or twice, until the onions are soft, about 10 minutes.

Stir in the tomatoes, beans, rice, green chiles and 1/2 can of water from the tomato can (or about a cup of water). Stir to ensure the rice is covered in the liquid.

Cover the pan snugly with a tight-fitting lid or two sheets of aluminum foil and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
