Servings: persons

1 whole Green Bell Pepper, Diced
1 whole Small Onion, Diced
2 whole Jalapenos, Minced
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 pinch Pepper
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1 pinch Cumin
1 cup Rice
1 can (14.5 Oz. Size) Diced Tomatoes, Undrained (can Use Mexican-style Or Plain)
1-1/2 cup Chicken Broth

1
Saute pepper, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in oil until tender. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Add rice and stir to coat with the vegetable mixture.
2
Stir in tomatoes and their juices, and the chicken broth. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and allow rice to cook until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender. (This took me about 15-20 minutes.)
3
Tip for adjusting the heat: if you want things spicier, leave the seeds in the jalapenos. Alternately, you can use Rotel-style tomatoes instead of plain diced tomatoes. They're sold in different heat levels, so you can control the heat.
