Taco Rice Recipe:
Ingredients
* 2 Tbsp cooking oil
* 1 small onion
* 1 clove garlic
* 2 cups long grain white rice or 3 cups minute rice
* 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
* 1/2 tsp cumin
* 1/4 tsp oregano
* 3 cups water
* 1 tsp salt
Instructions
* Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion, garlic, and cooking oil to a medium sauce pot. Sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until the onions are soft and transparent.
* Add the uncooked rice, chili powder, cumin, and oregano to the pot. Continue to stir and cook for about 2 minutes to toast the rice and spices. You should hear the rice making crackling noises.
* Finally, add the water and salt, and give everything a brief stir. Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and allow it to come to a boil. As soon as it reaches a full boil, turn the heat down to low, or slightly above low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Or if minute rice follow directions on box.
* After 15 minutes, turn the heat off and let it sit for 10 minutes without removing the lid. After letting it rest for 10 minutes, fluff the rice with a fork.
Enjoy!
