This Mexican Rice is the easiest and most delicious as if it came straight from the restaurant, only better! Just a few ingredients and in 25 minutes you have a great side dish or the perfect foundation for burrito bowls.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- In a medium size skillet with fitted lid melt butter. Add spices and rice, and toast for 1-2 minutes on medium high heat, stirring continually. Add chicken stock and tomato sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and put the lid on. Turn down to simmer for 20-25 minutes until the moisture is absorbed and the rice is tender. You may have a little sauce around the edges and that's totally fine.
- Let stand 5 minutes with lid on, fluff with a fork and serve!
