Vegan Tex Mex Rice

the80srule's Note:

I got this out of a Mexican cookbook except I made it vegan, and simplified it as well. I found that I had to add a little extra cayenne after it was done cooking, but then again I have a higher spice hotness threshold than most :)

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 2.0 cups

• 1 cup long-grain yellow rice
• 2 ½ cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
• ¾ teaspoon red cayenne
• 1 dash chili powder

Directions:

1. Pour the veggie broth into a medium saucepan, and add the oil, garlic, and dry spices. Mix well.
2. Add the rice, turn the heat on, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes.
3. Fluff the rice and stir well with a wooden spoon to properly disperse all the seasonings-- but do not rinse or drain as it will kill the taste and nutrients!
4. Goes awesome with refried beans!
