How to Make Lone Star Spanish Rice
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup of long-grain rice and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of chicken or beef broth (depending on your main dish), 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed black beans or kidney beans (your choice!).
- Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the remaining liquid to be absorbed.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
