1/2 cup canola oil
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped jalapenos
1 1/2 cups chopped roma tomatoes

2 tsp chopped garlic
6 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 (6 oz) box uncle ben's mexican rice mix
1 cup chopped cooked white chicken meat
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions:

Cut the tortillas into 1/4 inch strips.
In a large saute pan, heat the oil over med.-high heat. Fry the tortilla strips until crunchy. Drain and set aside.
In a soup pot, melt the butter over med. heat. Saute the onion, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro and garlic in the butter until the tomatoes are soft. Add the chicken broth and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Add the rice and seasonings. Boil until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
