2 tbsp Vegetable or Canola Oil

1 cup Dry Long-Grain White Rice

48 oz Canned Tomato Sauce

2 cups Warm Water

1 tsp Chili Powder

2 tsp Caldo de Tomate Tomato Bouillon

1 tsp Minced Garlic About 2 Cloves

Heat oil in a 5 quart saute pan over medium-high heat. Add rice. Cook rice, stirring constantly, for several minutes, until rice begins to turn a golden color.

Reduce heat to low to avoid spattering. Gently pour in warm water, then tomato sauce and stir. Stir in chili powder, Caldo de Tomate and minced garlic. Turn heat back up to medium-high, bring to a boil, then reduce to low and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until all water has been absorbed.

Turn off heat, fluff rice then let sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes before serving.
