Steps:
- In a large frying pan on medium heat, add the oil and the rice. Stirring occasionally, cook the rice until golden brown, or about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and salt and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth and salsa and stir. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Keep the rice at a low simmer for 20 minutes, without removing the lid if possible. After 20 minutes, lift the lid and check your rice but do not stir. You may need to cook for up to 5 more minutes, or until all of the liquid has absorbed and the rice is cooked.
- Once cooked completely, turn the heat off and let it sit for 10 minutes, then lightly fluff with a fork and squeeze the fresh lime juice on the rice before serving. Enjoy!

EASY SPANISH RICE
This recipe has been told to me by my girlfriends MIL from Mexico. I had to measure the ingredients. Never before have they been measured, always a 'handful of this and equal parts of this' until it looked right. I hope you enjoy it. It has become a family favorite in our home. I am always asked to make it!

SIMPLE SPANISH RICE
Emily Hockett, of Federal Way, Washington says, "I prefer this side dish to traditional recipes because it's vegetarian and lower in fat. While you're preparing the rest of your meal, it simmers on the stove, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully."
