This is my mother’s treasured recipe. If she finds out that I released this family secret, she will fly into a rage.

I am a Mexican,…take two cups long grain rice, brown it in a pan, with onions and garlic, fresh tomatoes, cilantro, then put four cups water, put salt, and pepper, to taste, put a can of tomato sauce, then bring it to a boil for 5 min then lower the fire stir it, then cover it, let it steam for 20 min…and its done..Enjoy….I know how to make homemade Salsa too..simple, boil 6 tomatoes, 6 jalapenos, then put in blender, put a piece of onion, 3 garlic pieces, cilantro, salt.about two tablespoons or so what ever amount of salt you like… .mmm good

I tried every recipe I could find for Mexican rice and hated them all until this one: Lighty toast/saute1 c uncooked white rice in 2 TBS of olive oil, then add 1/4 c of minced onion and a tsp of crushed fresh garlic and brown for a couple of minutes (don’t burn the onions/garlic). Add 2 c of hot water and 2 cubes of Mexican chicken bullion (find it in the Mexican food isle). Add a 1/2 to 1 medium can of crushed tomatoes and a little bit of the juice. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 20 mins. You can add a 1/4 to 1/2 c of frozen peas and carrots too which you’ll find in many Mexican restaurants.
