Preparation

30 mins

Low

Blend the tomato with the chipotle, onion, garlic, one cup of chicken broth, enough salt, and pepper until you achieve a smooth mixture. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil and fry the rice, stirring occasionally to avoid breaking it. When the rice has a golden color, remove the excess oil and pour in the tomato mixture, allowing it to absorb slightly before adding the rest of the chicken broth, the vegetables, epazote, and dried chipotle pepper. Once it comes to a boil, cover and reduce the heat. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been completely absorbed. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips

Wash the rice 3 times to remove excess starch. Soak the rice in hot water for 15 minutes and drain before frying. Frying is essential to seal the rice, preventing it from releasing too much starch during cooking, which would make it mushy.
