Instructions

Step 1
In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped fresh garden tomatoes and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften.
Step 5
Stir in the rice and cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is lightly toasted.
Step 6
Add the chicken or vegetable broth, ground cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to steam.
Step 9
Fluff the rice with a fork and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt if necessary.
Step 10
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
