1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/3 cup canned diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 1/2 cups chicken broth



In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Stir in onion and green pepper and saute until tender. Pour the rice into the pan and stir to coat grains with oil.
