Submitted by MJMommy13

"I came up with this recipe in a quest to duplicate the rice you get in Mexican restaurants. If you don't have a rice cooker just cook on the stovetop covered for 18 minutes."

• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 cup white rice, rinsed
• 10 ounces Rotel Tomatoes, mild

directions

1. Puree Rotel and onion in food processor until liquified. Pour into measuring cup and add enough chicken broth to make 2 cups of liquid.
2. Heat olive oil in a saute pan and cook rice until slightly toasted. Add chiles and garlic and cook until fragrant. Put all ingredients into rice cooker and cook on white rice setting.

Wonderful! So easy and quick. I followed the instructions and I also added just a little more liquid and served with recipe#37778#37778, small green salad and chips and salsa. One I will be making again. Thank you.

Great rice. I followed the directions as written, except I added about 1/4 cup extra liquid. So much better than boxed.
