                    A colorful, healthy side dish for any meal. Chopped cilantro would be a great addition! This is from Light & Tasty’s Feb/March 2005 issue. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think it would be really good with burritos or fajitas. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 1/4 cups water  |  
                                                1 tablespoon butter  |  
                                                2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules  |  
                                                3/4 teaspoon ground cumin  |  
                                                1 cup uncooked long grain rice  |  
                                                1/3 cup picante sauce  |  
                                                1 ripe avocado, peeled and cubed  |  
                                                2 green onions, sliced  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Bring water to a boil in large saucepan. 2. Add butter, bouillon, and cumin, and stir until butter is melted. 3. Add rice and reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender. 4. Stir in picante sauce and heat through. 5. Stir in avocado and onions just before serving.                              |
