Mexican Style Rice

I absolutely loooveee Mexican style rice, I was looking around at a few different recipes then decided to combine 2 and make my own which turned out delicious! Tonight was the first time making it and it was a huge success!

Ingredients:


3 tbsp canola/vegetable oil
1/4 of a medium white onion (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 1/2 cups of rice (uncooked)
2 1/2 cups of chicken broth
1 cup plain tomato sauce (I used Hunt's, it'll always be my favorite)
a dash of ground cumin
2/3 tbsp taco seasoning


Directions: 


1. In a large/deep pan (make sure you have a lid for whatever pan you use!) heat the oil on medium high heat, add in the onions and sautee for about 2 minutes or until softened (but not brown)
2. Add in the uncooked rice and sautee for about 2 minutes or until the rice gets a bit of a golden glow, add in the garlic and stir for another minute
3. Lower the heat and stir in the broth and tomato sauce. Cover and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
4. After the 20 minutes stir for a bit and add the dash of cumin (make sure it's a very small amount, cumin is very powerful) and the taco seasoning. Enjoy! :)a
