My Spanish rice has evolved into a full blown one dish quick supper. Brown ground beef, chopped onion, chopped green pepper, add garlic, taco seasonings or other spices of choice, 2 cans chopped tomatoes (one with green chilies), simmer while rice cooks in microwave. Add rice, eat. Serve with tortilla chips or garlic bread. Good substitute for spagetti for those on gluten free diet.
