This easy recipe for Spanish rice was told to me by my girlfriend's mother-in-law from Mexico. I had to measure the ingredients. Never before have they been measured, always a "handful of this and equal parts of that" until it looked right. I hope you enjoy it. It has become a family favorite in our home. I am always asked to make it!

Ingredients

  • olive oil: 2 Tbsp
  • ½ cups long-grain rice: 1 piece
  • water: 3 cups
  • roma (plum) tomatoes: 2 piece (chopped)
  • onion: 1 cup (chopped)
  • fresh cilantro: 0.75 cup (to taste, chopped)
  • tomato bouillon with chicken flavoring (such as Knorr®): 1 Tbsp (to taste)
