This is yummy! To me this tastes better than the rice you get as a side dish at so many mex restaurants. From Texascooking.com

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked rice (not instant rice)
2 tablespoons oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth or beef broth
1 tablespoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet. Add the rice and stir over medium-high heat until rice is golden brown.
2
Add the garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion just begins to brown.
3
Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, chili powder and salt, lower heat and cover.
4
Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Wow, this was great! I made it in my frying pan, along putting Weight Watchers Mexican Chicken Breasts on top of it, then simmered for about 40 mins. Everything came out perfectly. Thanks for sharing this winner.

I have been trying Mexican rice recipes for years. I had given up and thought that I would always have to buy the junk in a box. This is excellent!!! It was almost as quick as opening a box and way better tasting. I did use a can of diced tomatoes in place of the plum tomatoes. YUMM
