Super Easy Mexican Rice
- 1 cup rice (white, long grain)
- 2 cups water
- 0.75 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon (I prefer Knorr)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, fresh or from the jar
- oil
- Coat bottom of pan with oil (app 1 tablespoon corn oil) on med to med/high heat.
- Add rice and stir until coated with oil.
- Continue stirring until rice becomes solid white in color.
- Depending on your pan, you may need to add a tad bit more oil.
- Once rice is white in color, quickly add water, tomato sauce, bullion, salt, and garlic.
- Stir and cover.
- Lower to medium to medium/low heat for approximately 20 minutes.
- DO NOT PEEK!
- DO NOT STIR!
- Fluff rice.
- Each grain should appear split down the middle and be a light pink/orange color.
- Enjoy!
- Note: it you over stir it will be mushy, if you peek it will not split down the middle.
- And in the last step, if you have a film of tomato sauce on top, don't worry.
- When you fluff it will be fine.
