Brown the Meat If present, remove the casings from the sausage. In a large skillet, cook the pork over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until brown. Drain in a colander and set aside.
Simmer Veggies, Rice, and Spices Add the corn, tomatoes, uncooked rice, water, chili powder, and cumin to the skillet. Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Add Meat, Beans, and Cheese Stir in the beans and cooked sausage; heat through. Sprinkle the Mexican skillet dinner with cheese, then cover the pan and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted. Top with cilantro, if desired.
