Description

I found this recipe several years ago when trying to find something to bring to Spanish Club in high school. Tweaked it several times and now I make it as a side dish nearly every time we do Mexican or Southwest for dinner.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cups Diced Yellow Onion
  • 3 Tablespoons Oil
  • 1-½ cup Uncooked White Rice
  • 1 cup Chopped Bell Pepper
  • 1-½ can (10 Oz. Can) Tomato Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 3 cups Water

Preparation

In saucepan, saute onions with oil until golden. Add rice to the pan, mix evenly. Mix in remaining ingredients. Cover, bring to boil.

Reduce heat and simmer 30-40 minutes, until rice is tender.

So much better than the pre-packaged versions! I added in a little cilantro and lime juice and used some spicy tomato sauce. Very good!
