This easy recipe for Spanish rice was told to me by my girlfriend's mother-in-law from Mexico. I had to measure the ingredients. Never before have they been measured, always a "handful of this and equal parts of that" until it looked right. I hope you enjoy it. It has become a family favorite in our home. I am always asked to make it!

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 cups long-grain rice
- 3 cups water
