Ingredients
- 4 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
- 2 cups white rice uncooked
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 4 cups warm water
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 4 tsp chicken bouillon Caldo de pollo
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- cilantro fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Add your oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven or skillet with a heavy lid.
- Once the oil is hot add the rice and stir. Sauté the rice for 3-4 minutes stirring continuously until the rice is golden.
- Add half of the water slowly, and then add the remaining ingredients. Stir and mix well.
- Add the remaining water. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, drop the heat to medium-low and cover.
- Allow the rice to cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and slowly remove the lid allowing the steam to exit away from your arm and body.
- Fluff the rice and scrap the bottom if necessary, I love the crispy layer at the bottom personally.
- Let cool for a couple of minutes then serve with some diced cilantro!
