Sometimes, I get into ‘themed’ meal moods. I invited our neighbors over for dinner and decided on a Mexican theme. We are serving margaritas and veggie fajitas tonight. Black beans, sour cream, Mexican rice, sautéed veggies, corn tortillas, and salsa. What’s there to not like?!

Add washed rice, and gently roast for 5 minutes until the rice kernels turn slightly brown; add chopped tomatoes, salt and vegetable broth and cook rice until almost all the water has been absorbed.
Add chopped carrots and bell peppers, stir gently. Close the lid and let cook on low flame until rice is done. Fluff rice with a fork.
