This is the spanish rice I grew up eating and I like to serve it with my Creamy Tex Mex Enchiladas. Depending on whether or not you are serving a chicken or beef main dish, coordinate the broth to go along with it. You can also substitute black or kidney beans if you prefer. It comes from a Pace Picante Tex Mex cookbook. Oh so good!
Ingredients:
1 cup rice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups chicken broth or 2 1/2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
16 ounces canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup salsa
1/4 cup sliced green onion
Directions:
1. Cook rice and garlic in oil in a 2 quart saucepan until rice is lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add broth, cumin, and oregano; bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and cover tightly. Simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in beans.
5. Let stand until all liquid is reabsorbed, about 5 minutes.
6. Stir in salsa and green onions.
