Comments:

This rice is so easy, and I'm sure it would be even easier with a rice cooker! (If I had one. . .) As a note, you don't necessarily have to saute the rice before cooking, but I think it gives it a better flavor, texture, and appearance. Also, I recently started adding the green chiles, too; I use about 1-2 T.
