Ingredients
Instructions
To a large nonstick skillet, add the oil, onions, bell pepper, jalapeno, and saute over medium high heat for about 4 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften stir very frequently.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir continuously.
Add the rice, cumin, oregano, salt, stir, and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the rice is toasted and fragrant; stir nearly continuously. Tip - Do not skip this step because it's the toasting of the rice that causes it to be extra flavorful later.
Add the tomato sauce, broth, bring it to a rolling boil, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer covered for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is done. Troubleshooting Tips for either soupy rice or hard rice are in the FAQs. It should be perfect as written, but if it's not, consult that section.
Taste the rice, and if needed, make any necessary seasoning adjustments such as additional salt if desired. Serve immediately or use the rice as desired in burritos, tacos, in soups, or as desired.
