Provided by Carrie Barnard

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup onion chopped finely (optional)
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
2 cups water (or chicken broth -I normally do 1 or 2 cups broth)
1 cups chunky salsa
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp cumin

Steps:

  • Saute onion in oil over medium heat. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix rice into skillet, stirring often. When rice begins to brown, stir in chicken broth, salsa, garlic salt and cumin.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed.
  • I double this recipe to make a lot of rice. You do the work once and have enough to last my family 2-3 meals.
  • I let rice cool and then freeze in freezer bags, that way I only have to mess up the kitchen once for a few extra meals.

Great side dish for your Mexican fiesta. Try with Recipe #17130! It is as good as you'll find in any Mexican restaurant. Update: 1 teaspoon cumin was added to original recipe. I took some of my reviewers suggestion and added 1 teaspoon of cumin to the recipe. They were right. Cumin definitely adds to the taste.
