Super Speedy Mexican Rice

I’m sure you’ve noticed over the last year reading my different posts that we eat a lot of Mexican food.  It’s true.  We do.  It’s our go-to flavor profile in our house.  I’ve been on the lookout for a recipe for Mexican rice because the kids love it and found one that was so stinking easy to make that I know this will be a regular in our house going forward.  This recipe come from This Mama Cooks and she calls it “Easy 10 Minute Mexican Rice.”

Let’s Get Crafty!

Here’s the lineup:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin (I used half this amount)
1 teaspoon salt
1 small can tomato sauce
1 can chicken broth
2 cups uncooked instant white rice

Start by warming up the oil, garlic powder, cumin and salt
Then add these to the pot, stir and bring to a boil
 
Once it reaches a boil – add the uncooked rice. Cover and remove from heat. Set aside for 5 minutes like you would have cooking the minute rice.  Fluff with a fork and you’re in business.

This recipe is a winner.  I hope you try it and like it!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
