["Wash long grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear- -THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT.", "Rice will be very sticky if you do not wash it through and that's not so yummy!", "Heat oil for two minutes at high heat in a 2-qt saucepan.", "Keep at high temperature.", "Fry the rice, onion, garlic and the Jalapeno** including juice from jar in the oil for 4-5 minutes until slightly golden.", "Add tomato paste and cumin and stir until combined.", "Cook for 2 minutes more.", "Pour in chicken broth and stir- -Chicken Broth will supply a ton of flavor!", "Try to use in lieu of water.", "Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat.", "Let cook for 20-25 minutes- -DON'T OPEN THAT LID!", "When finished, add fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro and taste.", "Add salt if you find it necessary- - Chicken broth may already be very salty, so tasting BEFORE adding salt is a must.", "Serve with refried beans and your favorite Mexican entree !", "**I say 3-4 so you can adjust to your liking.", "Also I use ""Nacho Jalapenos"" which are pickled."]
