This is my favorite recipe for Mexican rice. Tastes as good as any I've had in a Mexican restaurant. Found this recipe on the internet and am sure glad I did!

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 cups chicken broth (use broth, not water!)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the rice and the onion. Cook, stirring constantly, until rice is lightly browned and onion is soft (watch carefully so as not to burn the rice). Sprinkle rice with garlic salt and ground cumin and stir.

  • When done, remove lid and fluff with a fork.
