Instructions

1
In a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat, add oil and uncooked rice. Toast the rice, stirring frequently, until lightly golden.
2
Add the sliced tomatoes, onion, and jalapeños to the pot. Sauté with the rice for a minute or two.
3
Sprinkle in the chicken bouillon powder, tomato bouillon powder, and Spanish rice seasoning. Stir to combine.
4
Pour in the tomato sauce and the hot water. Stir everything together well.
5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
6
Once cooked, fluff the rice with a spoon. Serve hot.
7
Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the plated rice before eating.
