Ingredients:

• 2 cups of long-grain white rice
• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
• 1/2 of a medium-sized onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 2 cups of chicken broth
• 1 tsp of cumin powder
• 1 tsp of chili powder
• 1 tsp of salt
• 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro

Instructions:

1. First, rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This will help remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir until the rice is coated in oil and lightly toasted.
4. Add the can of diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin powder, chili powder, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Allow the rice to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and add the chopped cilantro.
