Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add carrot, bell pepper, onion, and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened, about 7 minutes. Add rice and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until grains are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour in broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce; season with cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed, about 17 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork. Top with cilantro.
