|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
|
|
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
|
|
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
|
|
- 2 cups chicken broth
|
|
- 1 teaspoon salt
|
|
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
|
|
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
|
|
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Heat the **vegetable oil** in a large saucepan or skillet with a lid over medium heat.
|
|
2. Add the **rice** and cook, stirring constantly, until the grains are lightly golden brown. This toasting step is key for flavor and texture.
|
|
3. Carefully stir in the **tomato sauce**, **chicken broth**, **salt**, **cumin**, **garlic powder**, and **chili powder**.
|
|
4. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and let it simmer.
|
|
5. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Avoid lifting the lid while it simmers.
|
|
6. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
|
|
This rice is the perfect accompaniment to tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or any grilled meat. Garnish with fresh cilantro for extra flavor and color.
