📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk together warm water, minced tomato, Caldo de Tomate, onion powder, chili powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
2
Heat olive oil in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add rice and saute until opaque and lightly golden, about 2 – ⏱️ 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute ⏱️ 30 seconds longer.
3
Pour water mixture in (careful, it will steam and sputter!). Stir once to level out rice (water should simmer right away if not bring it up to a simmer).
4
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until liquid has been absorbed, about ⏱️ 20 minutes (you'll notice water bubbles stop coming to the surface).
5
Remove from heat, fluff rice with a fork. Cover with lid and allow to rest ⏱️ 5 minutes off heat. Serve warm.
