Mexican Rice

I was about to order fajitas for delivery last night when I realized I had pretty much everything to make them on hand.  I try to always have a healthy supply of tortillas, cheese, sour cream and tomatoes.  I also like to have a bag of frozen bell pepper and onion mix which makes a perfect fajita filling paired with any protein you want - chicken, steak, shrimp.

I thought I would make some rice to go on the side and since I had some onion, garlic and a can of Ro-Tel on hand, added that in the mix with the rice.  Super super easy and made for a tasty rice mix to go in our fajitas. Here's the recipe:



Ingredients:
1 cup long grain rice
2 cups chicken stock
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tsp minced garlic

Directions:
Heat small saucepan over medium-high heat.  Add onion and garlic and saute 4-5 minutes or until soft.  Add Ro-Tel, un-cooked rice and chicken stock to pan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes or until rice is tender.  That's it, enjoy!
