Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. 1. Bring 2 1/4 cups water, Sazon, garlic, and chicken base to a boil.
  2. 2. Meantime, melt butter or oil and saute veggies with cumin, chili,salt,pepper and 1/4 cup chicken broth until tender crisp - about 5 minutes or so.
  3. 3. Add veggies, rice, and peas to boiling water mixture and simmer on very low for 20-25 minutes until liquid is absorbed. No peeking! Remove lid and cover pot with a clean dish towel and then put lid back on until ready to serve. Enjoy!
  4. 4. NOTE* on occasion, I've topped this rice with more chopped tomato and green onion - crumbled bacon is also good.
