Maria's Mexican Rice

Maria's Mexican Rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1/2 large onion, diced
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/3 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon (such as Knorr®)
  • 1 whole serrano chile pepper (optional)


  1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir rice and onion in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes; season with salt, cumin, and pepper. Pour water over the rice mixture. Stir tomato sauce and chicken bouillon into the water. Increase heat to medium-high, place a cover on the saucepan, and bring to a boil. Add serrano chile pepper and continue cooking at a boil for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes more.
