• 3 cups water
• 1 teaspoon beef bouillon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 chopped green bell pepper
• 1/2 chopped onion

Recipe

• 1 using a teflon pan- place olive oil in the pan and when it is hot add rice -- fry until nicely brown.
• 2 reduce heat -- add bell pepper, onion, garlic and continue to sauté. after about 5 minutes or so add water, tomato ,chili powder and salt.
• 3 place lid on skillet and turn heat down, simmer gently.
• 4 when the water has all evaporated-10-15 min later- slide the lid off of the skillet about half way so the steam will escape so your rice is not wet.
• 5 (while rice is simmering check it to see if you need a little more water. i don't add much water as i don't like my rice mushy and keep in mind that the veggies added have moisture as well---be sure to taste it before serving -- i actually add more chili powder than this as i like mine spicy).
• 6 serve.
