Savory Mexican Rice
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (4 ounce) can canned chopped green chiles, drained
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel by heating a generous amount of vegetable oil over an intermediate temperature. Introduce the rice into the skillet and engage in a thorough mixing process until the grains are lightly caramelized and emit a pleasant toasted aroma, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Introduce the chicken broth, tomato sauce, green chiles, onion, garlic, salt, cumin, and chili powder into the mixture. Bring the contents to a rolling boil before gradually decreasing the heat to a low setting. Cover the skillet and allow it to simmer gently until the rice is tender and fully cooked, around 25 minutes, with occasional stirring.

Top the dish with a generous layer of melted Monterey Jack cheese and cover it once again, allowing the cheese to blend seamlessly into the rice mixture.
