Restaurant Style Mexican Rice image

I have tried many recipes trying to duplicate the dry Mexican rice you get at the restaurant. After a lot of tweaking this hits the mark. My hubby loved it and said this is the real deal. Hope you enjoy it!

1 cup rice

1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup salsa, pureed
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a sauce pan. Add rice and fry for about five minutes. Stir occasionally so it doesn't stick. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeno and cook until onion is tender.
