MEXICAN RICE

Steps:

• In a large pot (that has a tight fitting lid) heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté 3-4 minutes until slightly translucent.
• Add the rice and sauté 1-2 minute to slightly toast the rice.
• Add the seasoning packet, diced tomatoes, water and oregano to the pot. Stir and cover, then to bring to boil.
• Once the pot is boiling leave lid on, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes (do not open lid or stir during this time).
• Check the rice, if it seems watery, let cook 2-3 more minutes. Once all the liquid has been absorbed, remove from heat. Fluff rice and serve immediately.
