Baked Mexican Rice

Servings:

I've tried many variations on baked rice and wanted to try it with Mexican flavors. It's so easy to let the rice bake away while you take care of other things or prep the rest of the meal. Garnish with additional green onions if you like.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place rice in a 9-inch square baking dish. Drizzle in canola oil; stir until rice completely coated. Stir in bell pepper, green onions, and chopped onion; season with sazón seasoning, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and salt.
  3. 3 Combine water and tomato sauce in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup. Microwave until simmering, about 2 minutes. Pour over rice; stir briefly. Tightly cover the baking dish with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover; fluff rice with a fork. Stir in cilantro; squeeze lime juice over top.
