Serves 4-6
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

1. 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.
2. Add vegetable broth, tomato sauce, diced green chilies, and taco seasoning and stir to combine.
3. 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.
4. Remove from heat and allow rice to rest for 5 minutes. Remove lid and fluff the rice mixture with a fork. Serve immediately.
