Mexican Rice

Looking for a side dish for fajitas, tostadas or the frozen taquitos you've had in the freezer for the past 2 months?  (Mine have been in the freezer about that long....).  Here's a simple side that's sure to delight the taste buds.

Step 1 Ingredients

Ingredients 

- 1/2 cup of rice
- 1 1/2 tbps of canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp of ground cumin*
- 1/2 tsp of onion powder*
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder*
- 1/2 cup of tomato sauce**
- 1/2 cup of chicken broth or water (I used water this time).**
- salt
- lemon (optional)

* The amounts for the spices are estimations.  I don't count how many times I shake the container.  Sorry!

**I like to mix the liquids in a small bowl before I start to save time.

Sounds great! Will try it tomorrow but I just want to know if by tomato sauce you mean ketchup or paste? Thanks a lot!

Thanks. By tomato sauce, i mean a little 8 oz can. It should say tomato sauce right on it. Please do not use ketchup or paste, it'll ruin your rice. You should be able to find tomato sauce in the same section tomato paste is located. Hope it turns out!
