TEX-MEX RICE
This is a version of rice that you find at a Tex-Mex restaurant. It is way easier than it looks and after you have made it once or twice - you can do it by heart. My kids love it and I love that I can sneak a few veggies in! Can be made vegan with veggie broth.

- In a large skillet set over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and serranos, and cook, continually stirring, until lightly browned, taking care not to burn the rice, 10 to 15 minutes.

- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. (Do not uncover during cooking.) Remove the serranos and discard. Fluff and serve, garnished will a little more cilantro.
