Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat; add ground beef and 1/2 t. salt. Cook until beef is cooked through; drain excess drippings and discard grease. Add spices (chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, remaining salt and pepper) to beef. Stir.
Add beans, tomatoes, corn, jalapenos or green chilies and rice to skillet; stir. Add water; stir. Cover; bring to a boil. When mixture is boiling, stir well so that there are no bits stuck to the bottom. Reduce to simmer; cook 15 minutes or until rice is cooked through. Remove cover halfway through, stir well to unstick any bits from the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat; sprinkle with cheese. Place skillet under broiler (if ovenproof) until cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes.
Remove and top with garnishes, if desired.
