Ingredients ::
- 1 can chicken broth
- 1/2 can tomato sauce
- Enough water to make the liquid come out to 3 1/2 C
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 1/2 C rice
- 1 can diced green chiles
- 1 can sliced black olives
- 2 C shredded Mexican cheese blend
Not a vegetable, but a side dish. DH had three helpings! This is totally a comfort food.
1. Pour the chicken broth and tomato sauce into a 4 C measuring cup. Add enough water to bring the level up to 3 1/2 C. Pour into medium saucepan.
2. Add taco seasoning and rice. Stir. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
3. Add chiles and olives. You can be creative and add whatever you'd like. I might add a diced tomato or some black beans next time.
4. Stir in the cheese until the cheese is melty. The rice gets a little thick.
Top with sour cream and scallions, if desired.
