Salsa Mexican Rice

Mexican rice is so flavorful and delicious it could be a meal all on its own but I usually pair it with beans or with any Mexican dish. This is a great chance to hide veggies from picky eaters.

2 cups white rice

3 cups chicken broth

2 tablespoons salsa

1 1/2 teaspoons cumin powder

Salt to taste

1 cup chopped onion

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1. Heat oil to medium high heat in a medium sauce pan, add rice and cook for 3 minutes.

2. Add onion and garlic cook until onion is tender then add the salsa, salt, and broth, and frozen veggies, bring to a boil.

3. Cover reduce heat to simmer cook for 20 minutes. Fluff with fork serve hot.
