INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil in a 5 quart sautes pan over medium-high heat. Add rice. Cook rice, stirring constantly, for several minutes, until rice begins to turn a golden color.
Reduce heat to low to avoid spattering. Gently pour in warm water, then tomato sauce and stir. Stir in chili powder, Calde de Tomate and minced garlic. Turn the heat back up to medium-high, bring to a boil, then reduce to low and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until all water has been absorbed.
Turn off heat, fluff rice then let sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes before serving.
NOTES
If you want this recipe to less saucy, use just 1/2 of the can of tomato sauce. Freeze the remainder and use it the next time you make Mexican rice.
