Hello dear kitchen friends! Today, I want to introduce you to Spanish rice. This recipe offers a fluffy and delicious rice that you can prepare with simple steps. It is a perfect accompaniment, especially alongside Mexican dishes like tacos and enchiladas. Let's prepare this delightful recipe together!
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ white onion (chopped)

- ½ cup chopped fresh tomatoes or canned tomato sauce
- 1 jalapeño pepper (stemmed and seeded, chopped)

Let's start by heating the olive oil in a medium-sized pot or casserole. Add the onions and cook until they soften, about 5-8 minutes.

Remove from heat and let it rest with the lid on for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Enjoy your meal!
