Mexican rice

- 1Turn the fire to medium-low heat and heat the oil in the pot.
- 2Once the oil is heated, throw in the onions and mix them around.
- 3Brown the onions slightly.
- 4Toss in the rice with the onions and mix them so the rice can brown as well. Make sure it doesn't burn.
- 5Once the rice is brown, add two tablespoons of tomato paste.

- 8Add the tomatoes.

- 10Mix the seasoning in with the rest of the ingredients.
- 11Put a lid on it.
- 12Turn the fire down and let it cook for about 24 minutes.
- 13Turn the fire off and let it sit with the lid on for at least 5 minutes.
- 14When the five minutes are over, take the lid off and mix up the rice, getting all the tomato, onion, and flavor out from the sides, and mix it all together.
