Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 16 oz long grain white rice uncooked
- 1 onion diced
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 32 oz chicken broth
- 8 oz tomato sauce (1 small can)
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
- 12 oz frozen peas and carrots thawed

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and rice and cook, stirring frequently, until onion starts to turn translucent and rice starts to become a toasty golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in cumin, then add broth, tomato sauce and bullion and bring to a rapid boil.
- Add in the peas and carrots and serrano peppers (whole) and let the rice return to a boil.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed.
- Remove the pan from the heat and discard the peppers. Serve warm. Enjoy!
