This is a wonderful side dish for your favorite mexican entree. Browning the rice first gives it a nutty flavor, and since it is not too overpowering, it goes well with anything! It takes a little time, but is worth it in the end!

- 1-2 medium green peppers, sliced shopping list
- 1 medium onion, sliced shopping list
