This is an excellent Mexican rice recipe with bell peppers (not to be confused with Spanish rice) that I make as a side to serve with all of my Mexican dishes. The key is cooking the rice properly and using good quality chicken broth or stock.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tomato , seeded and chopped
  • ½ onion , finely chopped
  • 0.5 greens bell pepper , finely chopped
  • 1 fresh jalapeno pepper , chopped
  • 0.5 cups chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • 1 clove garlic , halved
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add rice; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.

  2. 2

    Stir in tomato, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño. Add cilantro, bouillon, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender and all liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
