Stir in diced tomatoes with their juice, rice, chili powder, cumin and water; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked through, about 15-18 minutes.

Stir in cheese until melted through, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro, if desired.
