TRADITIONAL MEXICAN RECIPES INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a low to medium heat. Put the onions in and saute until brown. Add the rice, and stir so that the oil coats the grains. Then add the bell pepper, tomato sauce, chili and cumin powder, garlic, salt, saffron, and water. Cover the pan and bring to a boil, then reducing the heat, allow it to simmer. Let it cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is nice and tender, stirring occasionally. Serve hot.
