Steps:

1. 1. In a stockpot add oil (medium heat) until oil gets hot, add rice and fry until lightly browned about 10 minutes, before rice is just about done add onion. Make sure to stir rice constantly to prevent burning.
2. 2. When rice is lightly browned add tomato sauce and enough water just to cover rice. Add to that salt, pepper,garlic powder,sazon and cumin. Stir. Bring to boil.
