How to Make 20 Minute Spanish Rice
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups of chicken stock and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, stir in 1 cup of long-grain white rice, ½ cup of your favorite salsa, ½ cup of corn (frozen or canned, drained), and ½ cup of black beans (or peas), rinsed and drained.
- Give the mixture a gentle stir to combine.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
- After 20 minutes, fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor (optional).
