In a medium skillet, heat the corn oil and unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and jalapeno and saute until onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

I love all the different vegetables and flavors in this burrito bowl dish. I do not like my food too hot, but I can work around that and still make this recipe.
