MEXICAN RICE 
2 cups white instant rice
2 cups hot water
3 chicken bouillon cubes
yellow onion
green bell pepper
1 or 2 clove of garlic
1 small can of tomato sauce
olive oil
you can season w/ salt, pepper,sometimes I add 1 tsp of onion powder
(when you add the tomato sauce)

Chop 1/4 cup of onions, 1/4 cup of green bell pepper, and mince the garlic.

In a skillet, heat enough olive oil to lightly coat the white rice. Add chicken bouillon to 2 cups of water. Heat in microwave. Add 2 cups of rice to skillet. Lightly brown the rice until golden.

Add the 2 cups of hot water with the boullion cubes (it will sizzle). Add onion, garlic and bell pepper. Stir.

Add small can of tomato sauce. Bring back up to a simmer.

Turn heat off and place lid on skillet (leave skillet on the burner). Leave for 10 minutes, then remove lid and lightly fluff the rice with a fork. Serve.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
