Step 1

Drizzle oil in a deep dish pan. Heat up the pan over medium high heat. Add diced onions and cook until softened and slightly translucent. Add garlic followed by the mixture of smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix everything together and cook over the heat.

Step 2

While everything is cooking, rinse your rice until the water runs clear. Then add the rice to the pan and mix together. Make sure the onions, garlic and spices are evenly distributed throughout the rice.

Step 3

Add the diced tomatoes and broth. Bring the pot up to a boil and then lower it to a simmer. Cover and cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, approximately 30 minutes.

Step 4

Fluff the rice with a fork or spoon and serve while hot! Optional: add cilantro, or your favorite fresh herb, and a squeeze of lime.
