Notes
- I use brown rice often and increase my water by one cup. The Spanish rice in the pictures was made with brown rice and I bet you didn't even notice. Your family won't either.
- You can use chicken or vegetable stock or broth in place of the bouillon and water.
- The amount of chili powder you use is going to depend on how much you like. I'd try it with 2 tablespoons first and then you can go up or down from there depending on your preferences.
- You can use the rice cooker function on your Instant Pot if you don't have a rice cooker.
