Amazing Mexican Rice image

I modified a recipe Mexican-style rice recipe I found on here and it turned out great. My family really loves it and hopefully you will too. The tomatoes I use are the Western Family brand. You could substitute regular diced tomatoes, but it won't have the same great flavor. (Those chipotle spices really make a difference!) You could also substitute 1 cup frozen corn for 1 can of corn.
