Simplest Spanish Rice

Description
8 servings 21 minutes

Ingredients

 * 1 cup white rice
 * 1/2 cup wild rice
 * 3 cups water
 * 1 (10 ounces) can rotel, medium or hot
 * 1 (10 ounces) can red enchilada sauce

Enchilada Sauce


 * 2 1/4 cups hot water
 * 1 (6 ounces) can tomato paste
 * 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
 * 2 tablespoons flour
 * 5 teaspoons red chili powder
 * 1 teaspoon cumin
 * 2 teaspoons garlic powder
 * salt and pepper

Directions
Heat water to boiling. Add Rotel and rice. Prepare enchilada sauce (if using recipe rather than canned) by combining all ingredients in a medium bowl and mixing until butter is melted. When most of water is absorbed in rice, reduce heat and add enchilada sauce. Cover and simmer until tender. When using canned enchilada sauce this recipe takes only 20 minutes to prepare. Makes a delicious appetizer when served with corn chips and salsa or pica de gallo.
