Stir in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes and green chiles (including juice), uncooked rice, black beans, and frozen corn kernels, bringing the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover and allow the skillet to sit for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
