Ingredients
Directions

Heading

<span-p>
Heat oil on medium in a large soup pot on the stove.
Add onion, jalapeño, and garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add chicken and chili powder, and stir while cooking until cooked through, about 5-8 minutes.
Add black beans, tomatoes, and corn; stir to incorporate.
Add 2 cups of broth—the liquid should cover the rest of the ingredients and then some. Add more if necessary.
Bring to a boil.
Add approximately one-half to two-thirds of the rice (you will not need the whole package).
Cover pot, reduce temperature to simmer, and cook for about 20 minutes. The longer you cook this, the better it gets (you may need to add more liquid).
Season with salt and pepper as necessary.
Serve in bowls and top with green onions, cheese, and hot sauce, and enjoy!</span-p>

Cook It Up:
An Upwork
Cookbook

A Foreword from the
Kitchen of Hayden Brown,
Upwork CEO

I deeply treasure that time around the table with my kids and loved ones. In our household, our kitchen table is a gathering place to share a meal, enjoy each other’s company, reflect on the day and laugh together.

With ‘Cook It Up,’ our Upwork Family Belonging Community has assembled a wonderful collection of recipes that celebrate the rich diversity of cultures we represent at Upwork. I truly enjoyed the personal memories that connect these dishes to the team members who shared them. This is a fun, approachable and sometimes touching look behind the “work curtain” that’s helped me — and I hope will help you — get to know our team even better.

I invite you to take a moment to browse the stories and recipes when you are looking for inspiration, a new way to connect with your colleagues, or just want to try something new. Most of all, I invite you to participate in the celebration of food, family, and life found here in Cook It Up.
