If I’m making enchiladas, burritos, or just a side dish for taco nights odds are this is the rice I’m making.
I always use my rice cooker but stovetop works well if you don’t have one. Sometimes I make this with brown rice but for this recipe I prefer white. It’s mild enough my picky eater and flavorful enough for the rest of us.
If you don’t have fresh tomatoes on hand don’t worry, the tomato paste adds most of the flavor there. Much of the time I make it without fresh tomatoes and can’t tell much difference. Don’t skip the cumin as it really gives a lot of flavor and smokiness to the dish.

- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups (or 4 rice cooker cups) white rice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
