Introduction

Very delicious Mexican-style rice, even better than the kind you get at a restaurant but much healthier since I use all fresh ingredients and make my own tomato sauce with pureed fresh tomatoes. Feel free to add bits of carrots, corn, or peppers while the rice cooks for a bit of extra flavor.
