Spicy Mexican Rice

The title of this recipe is a bit misleading, it's really not spicy at all.  However, one could increase the spices and seasonings for more heat, if desired.

Ingredients:
*1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
*2 cups white rice
*1 clove garlic, minced
*1 tsp. chili powder
*1/2 tsp. cumin
*1 tsp. salt
*2 1/4 cups chicken broth
*1/2 cup tomato sauce

Directions:
1.  Over medium-low heat, melt butter in sauce pan.

2.  Stir in rice.

3.  Add garlic.

4.  Add chili powder, cumin, and salt.  Stir.

5.  Bring to boil.

6.  Reduce heat, cover and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.  Do NOT lift the lid during this time!

7.  Turn off heat.  Keep covered for 8 more minutes.

8.  Immediately fluff with a fork and serve.

Notes:
-Assemble and measure all ingredients before beginning so rice doesn't scorch before broth is added.

Serving Suggestion:  Serve with enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, or any other Tex-Mex dish.  Goes great with refried beans.
