Low carb meal plan Skinny Mexican Rice
Ingredients
1 small sweet onion, diced
1/4 cup water, + more as needed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup long grain brown rice (recommend Uncle Ben's Long Grain Brown Rice - not the quick or instant kind)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
1(14.5 ounce) can petit diced tomatoes
1(4 ounce) can diced green chiles (optional)
2 cups vegetable broth, low sodium (optional, chicken broth)
Instructions
In a large skillet or sauce pan add water and diced onion. Turn to medium-low heat and saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add more water as it evaporates. Add garlic and continue to saute one additional minute.
Add remaining ingredients, cover, reduce heat and simmer on low for approximately 45 minutes or until rice has soaked up the liquid and is tender. If rice needs more liquid, add 1/4 cup as needed, or until rice is tender.
NOTE: The time it takes to cook the rice will depend on the brand. Some brands take 35 minutes, while others take up to an hour. We prefer Uncle Ben's Long Grain Rice because it is tender in approximately 35-45 minutes.
Remove from heat, leave covered and allow to set 10 minutes before serving.
