- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium high heat.
Add in the rice and cook until golden brown.
Add in the chicken broth, tomato sauce, salt, garlic, cumin, and black pepper.
Stir to incorporate all and cover pan with lid.
Reduce heat to medium low and allow to simmer for about 35-40 minutes, or until all liquid has been absorbed.
Fluff rice, stir in cilantro, and serve! *Sprinkle some cheese on top for additional flavor (I used Cotija)
