Mexican Rice

I have wanted a Mexican rice recipe for a really long time, but I have only had Spanish rices and I don't like them very much (too much tomato) so I smashed together a couple of Mexican rice repines that I found on allrecipes.com and came up with this:

Ingredients:
1 cup white rice (although if you want to be healthy go for it)
vegetable oil
1 tomato diced
1 green pepper diced (I put it in the food processor)
1/2 onion diced
1/2 jalapeño seeded diced
garlic
4 oz can green chills
1/3-1/2 bunch of cilantro
1/2 tsp salt, cumin, pepper
1/4 tsp chili powder
2 cup chicken broth
Monterey jack cheese

Get everything but the rice, oil, chicken broth and cheese chopped and mixed together.  You could probably throw all the things that need to be diced in the food processor at the same time, but I wasn't that smart last night, so I did it all separately.  Regardless, mix all of those veggies and spices and set them aside.

Then, sauté your rice in the oil from anywhere from 3-7 minutes until fragrant.  Then add the broth and the veggie mix, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and let sit until rice it cooked.  I think I let it sit for about 35 minutes.

Once the rice is done, melt some cheese on top and serve hot.

Danielle, this is spicy, so Eric and Hailey won't like it.  Definitely leave out the chili powder and probably the jalapeño.  It will still have good flavor that way, it just won't be spicy
