Step 2

Add water, salsa, chili powder, onion, and bouillon and stir to make sure bouillon dissolves. Add peas and carrots or corn. Cover and bring to boil.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium or medium low so rice continues to simmer. Do not stir. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes.

Remove from heat and let sit until all water is absorbed, at least 5 minutes.

Step 5

Before serving, stir thoroughly to make sure bouillon is evenly distributed.
