Easy Mexican Rice

Ingredients

• 1 cup white rice, NOT minute rice (I like using jasmine rice for all my rice needs, it's just more rich but any white rice will do)

• 3/4 cup chunky salsa (spice level up to you)

• 1.5 cups chicken broth (I dissolve 1 chicken bullion cube in 1.5 cups water)

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp dried cilantro (or fresh if you have it!)

• 1 tsp fresh lime juice

• salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Combine chicken broth & salsa in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Add rice, garlic powder, onion powder and stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until liquid has been fully absorbed and rice is soft.

2. Turn off heat, fluff rice and add cilantro & lime juice. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Fluff again and add salt & pepper to taste.
