Ingredients
Mexican Rice:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
- 1 tbsp Tone’s® Mexican Rice Seasoning
- 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
- 2 ½ cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 small tomato, diced
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
How to Make it?
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook 2 minutes; add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
Stir in Tone’s® Mexican Rice Seasoning, tomato sauce, and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Stir in diced tomato and top with chopped cilantro.
