How Do You Make Mexican White Rice?
To make Mexican white rice, start by sautéing onions and garlic in vegetable oil until the onions become translucent. Add rinsed long-grain white rice to the pan and stir for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted. Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, salt, and chili powder to the pan and stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice for approximately 18-20 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Fluff the rice with a fork and add some fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
