Tomato Rice

Submitted by MaddysMom

"My mom's recipe - the perfect compliment to a mexican dinner. It has a lot of flavor and is pretty simple to put together. When I make it at home I cut back on the onion. I don't make any other changes, but I think it would be great with some additions like black beans, corn, or chiles."

This was really good. Quick and easy also. Don't think I changed anything but maybe added a little more salt and cumin, personal taste prefernce.
