TIJUANA KITCHEN RICE

Steps:

• In a medium sauce pan add oil, jalapeno, onions and tomatoes. Saute until onions are translucent, then add rice and stir to combine. Saute rice for 3 minutes, deglaze with white wine, then add oregano, cumin, paprika, and black pepper.
• Add chicken stock, water and tomato sauce, boil for 1 minute. Then cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Do not lift lid.
• Season with salt, then top with green onions and queso fresco. Serve immediately.

COCONUT JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice under cold water 3 times or until the liquid runs clear. Add the rice, coconut milk and water to a medium pot; stir well. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with coconut flakes.

QUICK BLACK BEANS WITH RICE

Steps:

• In a 6-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, onions, garlic, jalapeno and salt. Saute until the onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beans, epazote and 6 cups water; stir well, and then lock the lid (following the manufacturer's instructions). Once the beans come up to pressure, turn the heat down to medium to maintain pressure; cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then release the pressure. Remove the epazote, and taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Just before serving, fold the cilantro and lime juice into the cooked rice.
• Garnish beans with the Cotija and serve alongside the rice.
