EXCELLENT!! 1st time omitted olives-they add SO much! Made the following changes & this rice was fabulous: changed garlic salt to 1/2 tsp salt & 1-1/2 tsp garlic powder and used 1/2 cup juice from tomatoes plus 1-1/2 cups water, then added 1/4 minced jalapeno, 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 tsp chili powder, dash black pepper & dash cumin. We Texans LOVE our Mexican food!!!
