Easy Mexican Style Rice

[Floogeldy]

I whipped up this recipe myself because I wanted something easy and quick. It is pretty tasty considering the little amount of time required.

Floogeldy's Mexican Rice

1 1/2 cup water
1 bullion cube
1 pat of butter
Paprika
Cumin
Chili Powder
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Small handful of mixed, frozen vegetables
1 1/2 cup Minute Rice

Put all ingredients, except the rice, in a medium sized sauce pan. Obviously, I don't measure the spices or vegetables. I just put a few good shakes of each spice in and a very small portion of vegetables (I use Green Giant brand frozen mixed vegetables, which contains green beans, corn, peas and carrots). Bring water, butter, bullion cube, spices and vegetables to a boil in the sauce pan, covered. Immediately pour in the rice, stir five seconds, put the lid back on, and cook according to instructions on the Minute Rice box.

This dish does not come out salty or spicy hot. You may want to salt and pepper to taste.

Of course, I'm open to suggestions on how to improve this dish. :)

Enjoy!

Thanks,
