Simple Mexican Rice perfect for veggie burritos or paired with refried beans.
Saute pepper, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in oil until tender. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Add rice and stir to coat with the vegetable mixture.
Stir in tomatoes and their juices, and the chicken broth. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and allow rice to cook until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender. (This took me about 15–20 minutes.)
Tip for adjusting the heat: if you want things spicier, leave the seeds in the jalapenos. Alternately, you can use Rotel-style tomatoes instead of plain diced tomatoes. They’re sold in different heat levels, so you can control the heat.

This recipe is AWESOME! I didn’t have any jalepenos, but had a can of diced green chilies, so I used those. And chopped up a can of stewed tomatoes that I had on hand. Otherwise, followed recipe as directed, and it is delish! Was a perfect side to Zucchini Chicken Enchilada Boats!

I love this recipe. I added a can of original Rotel tomatoes, a 14.5 ounce can of Swanson’s reduced sodium chicken broth, some fresh cilantro, a small fresh jalapeno and right before it was done, I added a handful of frozen corn. I also used about 1/2 teaspoon of cumin instead of just a pinch.
I put all the veggies and cilantro in my Kitchen Plus 2000 chopper, so they were chopped pretty fine. Did I say I LOVE this recipe??

Good recipe. Next time, I plan to try two cups of rice. There seemed to be too many vegetables in each bite.
