Mexican Rice


I always made Spanish Rice-A-Roni to go with my Mexican Meals. I don't like Spanish Rice. What I wanted was the spiced red rice that is served as the rice part of rice and beans as a side at the local Mexican restaurant.

Allrecipes.com came through again. I found a recipe and then tweaked it to suit our tastes.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice

Cook rice until slightly browned.
Stir in garlic salt, cumin and dried chopped onion.
