Mexican Rice-Side Dish image

This is so easy and very tasty. Makes a great side dish with any Mexican/Tex Mex dish. This dish is one of my son's favorites to cook with his wonderful enchiladas. He knows his way in the kitchen.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup long grain white rice
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon cumin
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In medium size saucepan, heat oil. Add rice; stir to brown.
  • Add all ingredients EXCEPT cheese.
  • Bring to full boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Pour into small baking dish, top with shredded cheese. You may add more cheese if you prefer. I like to add a little chopped green onion on the cheese for color. I've also used brown rice in place of regular rice.
  • Bake at 350°F until cheese is melted.
