In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, jalapeno, onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until softened. Add beans, corn, salt, chili powder and cumin; stir and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
Add undrained tomatoes, rice, and water; stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover with lid and cook 20 to 25 minutes or until rice is cooked and water has been absorbed. Remove from heat, top Mexican rice with cheese, and let stand until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
