Yum! Mexican Rice and Tonight's Dinner Inspiration

For some reason everyone in this house has to eat EVERY NIGHT! I know you hear what I'm saying, and sometimes you just don't have any ideas. UGH.

That's where I turn to the weekly grocery store flyer! I'm a sale shopper anyway, so why not see what's on sale with the groceries.  This week the sale on cod caught my eye, it's fast to prepare, can thaw quickly and everyone will eat fish tacos. Paired the fish with my easy cilantro lime slaw and this delicious Mexican Rice recipe, yum!

Mexican Rice

1 garlic clove, minced

1 4oz. can of green chilies

1 cup long grain white rice

2 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup crushed tomatoes

2 tsp. tomato paste

1 tsp. chili powder

2 tsp. olive oil

Heat olive oil in a non stick pot with a lid (I used a deep skillet with lid), on medium heat. Add the rice, stirring ocassionally until the rice is light brown. Add all other ingredients, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Turn on low, cook for 20 minutes without a lid (do not stir). After the liquid is nearly gone, place lid on the pot and finish cooking until rice is tender, do not stir until ready to serve. Enjoy!
