Easy Mexican rice


Easy Mexican Rice

1 can diced tomatoes with peppers, onion and garlic
1 1/2 cup Minute Rice
Seasoning as desired (I used about 1 Tbsp of a chipotle lime spice blend that I have)

Empty the can of tomatoes into a microwaveable dish.  Add about 3/4 can of water and your desired seasoning. (packets of taco or fajita seasoning work well)  Heat in the microwave 4-5 minutes until boiling.
Stir in the Minute Rice.  Let sit covered for 5 minutes or until rice is softened.  If you like a saucier dish, add a small can of tomato sauce with the water. 

Experiment with other flavored diced tomatoes - and if you like spicy, use a can of Rotel tomatoes and chilies.
