SPANISH RICE

So today we had fajitas for dinner.  YUM!  One of our favorite side dishes with fajitas is spanish rice.  My favorite rice recipe is from FIESTA seasoning.  It is on the back of the bottle.  The only things I do different with the recipe are I substitute chicken broth for the water and butter for the oil. 

Spanish Rice

1/4 cup cooking oil

1 cup uncooked rice

1 - 14 oz. can of whole tomatoes

(chop tomatoes and reserve liquid in a separate cup)

4 teaspoons Bolner's Fiesta Brand® Spanish Rice Seasoning

water

Heat the oil in a pan that has a tight fitting lid. Add the rice and fry it until it starts to turn brown. Mix the reserved tomato liquid with enough water to make 2 1/2 cups of liquid and add to the rice. Add the chopped tomatoes , seasoning, bring to a boil and cover. Lower the heat and SIMMER 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Do not overcook. Fluff and serve. Makes 8 servings
