Spicy Tomato Rice
Spicy Tomato Rice gives you all the flavors of Mexico in an easy to make side dish. It’s the perfect accompaniment to your favorite Mexican entrees. We don’t want to limit this fantastic rice dish to just Mexican food. It would also be amazing with any meat you grill, bake or roast.
Spicy Tomato Rice has all the spices we love about Mexican food…including Jalapeno Peppers. The recipe uses a 1/3 cup of Jalapenos , if that’s too much for you , feel free to cut the amount back to what would make this dish enjoyable to you. I’m not a person who enjoys “heat” in a dish, spice yes, heat no. If you don’t enjoy Jalapeno at all, leave it out and replace it with a touch more green pepper.
If you do want a little heat but not as much as a Jalapeno would give you, try using an Anaheim or Serrano Pepper. They don’t have as much heat as a Jalapeno does. It’s your kitchen Sweetie, make it your way. Let’s gather the ingredients for Spicy Tomato Rice and make it together.
Spicy Tomato Rice Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 cups white, long grain rice
- 1/3 cup diced Jalapenos

- 1 Teaspoon Cumin
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt

Add the chicken stock and tomato sauce to the pan. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the ingredients to a simmer.
