Recipe Tips

To make this recipe even easier, you can use a rice cooker instead of a saucepan. Simply follow the instructions for your rice cooker and add the onion, garlic, chipotle pepper, cumin, and chili powder to the rice before cooking. If you don't have any chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. This will give the rice a similar smoky flavor without the heat.
