A flavorful and easy-to-make rice dish with a hint of spice, perfect for any meal.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the onion for better flavor extraction.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Stir in the rice and cook for a minute to toast it slightly.
Toasting the rice enhances its nutty flavor.
Add the diced bell pepper, chili powder, diced tomatoes with their juice, and salt. Stir well.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.
Use a tight-fitting lid to retain steam for even cooking.
Simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Check occasionally and add a splash of water if the rice seems too dry.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for added freshness.
