Delicious Mexican Rice

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the rice to the skillet, stirring well to coat the grains with the oil and onion mixture. Cook for about 2–3 minutes until the rice begins to turn golden brown.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and the can of diced tomatoes (with their juices). Add the cumin, chili powder, and salt to taste. Stir everything together until well combined.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy your delicious Mexican Rice!
