3 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups short-grain rice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/16 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/4 cups salsa your favorite
  • 1 cup vegetables frozen petite
  • avocado chopped
  • chopped cilantro
  • green onion chopped
  • green olives
  • lime juice squeeze of

Directions

  1. 1
    In a medium size sauce pot over medium-high heat add oil. Let it get hot for a couple of minutes then add the rice. Stir occasionally for 4-6 minutes until the rice is a deep golden brown and fragrant, don't let it burn! (obviously)
  2. 2
    Add broth and salsa and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then lower heat and cover with a tight fitting lid. Let the rice simmer for 16-18 minutes until most of the broth has been absorbed. Stir in the frozen vegetables and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  3. 3
    Serve hot with garnishes. This pairs exceptionally well with my red chile shredded chicken tacos and cumin black beans.
