Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups parboiled rice (such as Uncle Ben’s®)
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 2 large green onions, sliced
- 1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning with saffron (such as Goya® Azafran) (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- 1 ½ cups water
- ¾ cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place rice in a 9-inch square baking dish. Drizzle in canola oil; stir to coat rice completely. Stir in green pepper, onion, and green onions. Season with sazon seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, coriander, and salt.
- Combine water and tomato sauce in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup. Heat until simmering, about 2 minutes. Pour over the rice and stir briefly. Cover the baking dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Stir in cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the top.
- I served this with chipotle-spiced pork, so didn’t add any spice to the rice. Feel free to add chopped serrano peppers or 1 to 2 teaspoons of chile powder or flakes.
Reviews
I ha e made this twice and both times gotten rave reviews . I couldn’t find that one spice mix so I’ve made it without both times. Easy and super good!
So delicious. My son who loves Mexican food said it’s better than any restaurant rice he’s ever had. Definitely will make often!
Very good. I will make this again!
