Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25-30 minutes
Ingredients
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 c. brown rice, uncooked
2 c. organic vegetable broth
1 c. sugar-free tomato sauce
1 4-oz. can diced green chilies, undrained
1½ T. prepared taco seasoning
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir to coat completely in oil. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes, until rice is lightly toasted.

- Increase heat to high and bring the rice mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is fully cooked.
- Remove from heat and allow rice to rest for 5 minutes. Remove lid and fluff the rice mixture with a fork. Serve immediately.
