Patty's Quick & Easy Spanish Rice

Contributed by: Patty (Patricia Fitzpatrick Parsons)

Ingredients:
White Minute Rice

• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup chicken broth
•  1 ½ cup minute rice

Brown Minute Rice

• 1 ¼ cup salsa
• 1 ¼ cup water
• 1 ½ cup brown minute rice

Instructions:

1. Cook according to the instructions on the rice package. 
2. You can also add onion, peppers of any color, and / or frozen corn (absorbs some of the heat from the salsa) depending on what you have on hand and the “audience”. 
3. It reheats really well. I have been known to eat it cold in a pinch.

Notes from Kate: This sounds like a great side dish with taco night! I have the hardest time coming up with good side ideas, so I am excited to give this a try. My kids will be excited to see something other than plain rice or noodles. Actually, they will probably whine "where are the nooooooodles?", but I'll be happy.
