My kids think my Mexican Rice is tastier than Azteca!  What a compliment!

2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp fresh minced garlic
1 onion, diced
2 tsp cumin
4 cups jasmine rice
4 tomato bouillon
4 cups water
6 oz Cotija cheese
Heat oil with garlic, onion and cumin and saute for 5 minutes or so on med-high.  Add rice and cook until rice turns transparent.  Add bouillons and water.  Bring to a boil.  Turn heat down to simmer and cook for 20 minutes.  Crumble cheese and add to rice.  Serve!  Yum . . . you can also half this recipe - we just like the leftovers and we never throw any of this stuff out because it doesn't stay in the refrigerator long enough to spoil ;)
I'm excited to try this! It's hard to find a good Spanish/Mexican rice recipe. Thanks for posting! I've been reading your blog but haven't been good about commenting. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!
