Mexican rice recipe needed

BajaTom

When I had my Baja Fresh we used to kind of boil our rice in oil and then add the seasoning. The seasoning was their own mixture so I don't know whats in it. Can someone give me some suggestions for mexican rice for my burritos. Thanks, Tom

BajaTom,
Here's one I got off the internet somewhere.
Cheers, Bob[p]Arroz a la Mexicana (Mexican Rice)[p]2 cups (500 ml) rice
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 cups (1 L) chicken or beef stock
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped, or 1 1/2
cups (375 ml) canned tomatoes
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
1/2 cup (125 ml) frozen or fresh green peas, cooked
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Optional garnishes: chili pepper "flowers" (fresh, hot chili peppers,
sliced from the tip to the stem into 4 or 5 sections and immersed in
cold water until they curl back to form "flowers"), fresh coriander
or parsley sprigs, 1 large avocado, peeled and sliced.[p]Puree the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and ½ cup (125 ml) of the stock in
an electric blender or food processor. Heat the oil in a saucepan and
sauté the rice until it turns golden. Add the tomato puree, remaining
stock, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, lower the heat
to a simmer, and cover until almost all of the liquid has been
absorbed (about 15 minutes). Mix in the peas and continue cooking
until all the liquid has been absorbed. Garnish with the optional
garnishes. Serves 6

BajaTom,[p]Here's a link:[p]http://www.completerecipes.com/72710.htm[p]It from the "Too Hot Tamales." Works everytime. Use any kind of salsa--homemade or jar. I like to use roasted tomato.
