  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika

Instructions
 

  • Add rice to a large colander, rinse under cold water for 1 minute.
  • In a large pan set over medium-high heat, add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add rice and sauté along with the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice is cooked throughout.

Notes

FLAVORFUL SPANISH RICE

This flavorful Spanish rice is a perfect side dish to serve along with tacos, burritos or enchiladas! Start to finish, it’s ready to go in less than 30 minutes!
-If you like your rice to have less tomato flavoring, just add 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce.
-I garnished mine with a bit of chopped cilantro, this is totally optional but adds a bit of additional flavor.
