This is how I make mexican rice. Pictures of some of the steps are here. a note: I tend to cook regular food without much actual measuring.

1 c raw rice
oil
garlic, chopped
2 c chicken stock, or water and 2 bullion cubes
4 oz tomato sauce
pepper
small tomato, diced, if desired
frozen peas or corn, if desired

In a medium skillet, heat oil. Saute raw rice until golden brown. Be patient, this can take time, but once it starts to brown, it can burn quickly. Add the garlic just at the end so it doesn't burn. Add the stock (or water/bullion), tomato sauce, pepper, and diced tomato. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer until all liquid is absorbed. If using frozen peas or corn, add them towards the end so they don't get mushy. Once liquid is absorbed, give the rice a stir and serve.

I'll post the bean recipe later (frijoles a la charra).

Looking forward to the frijoles!
