Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add your onions and saute until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add in your garlic, jalapenos, and uncooked rice. Cook, stirring constantly to brown the rice, about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken broth, tomato paste, cumin, salt, pepper, and oregano. Whisk to combine.
  4. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes undisturbed. All the moisture should be absorbed by the rice. Add more time if needed.
  5. Fluff with a fork and serve fresh!
