1 tablespoon
Taco Seasoning homemade or store bought
¼ cup
cilantro, minced (optional)
Method
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick pot over medium-high heat until glistening. Add the rice and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
Add the carrots, stock, tomato sauce, salt, and taco seasoning. Stir to combine. Increase the heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, undisturbed, until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and uncover. Fluff with a fork, cover, and let sit for 5 more minutes.
