    Generally, Mexican cooks make this rice with fresh tomatoes, but ever the corner-cutter, I use petite diced, drained.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tbs. corn or olive oil
    • 1/2 medium onion, minced
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 medium tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped
    • or
    • 14.5 oz. petite diced tomatoes, drained
    • 2 cups long grain white rice
    • 4 cups chicken stock
    • pinch cumin powder
    • 1 tbs. chopped cilantro

    Directions

    1. Saute the onion and garlic in the oil, add the rice (medium heat).
    2. Cook until the rice is translucent - 3-4 minutes.
    3. Add the other ingredients and bring to a boil.
    4. Cover, turn on low.
    5. Cook exactly 20 minutes, remove from heat.
    6. Let sit 5 minutes, fluff with a fork.
    7. Will freeze.
