Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 onion finely diced, small
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water warm
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • Pinch chili powder
  • Pinch cumin
  • 1/4 cup peas frozen

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, then add the rice. Cook the rice, stirring frequently, until the rice is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, then add the onion and garlic. Pour in the tomato sauce, and water. Season with bouillon, chili powder, and cumin then turn the heat back to medium-high.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover with a lid. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the water is completely absorbed.
  5. Turn off the heat, add the frozen peas, cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Enjoy your homemade Mexican rice!
