Just the right amount of spices in this.

I changed a few ingredients to suit my family's taste. With that in mind, I used only a 1/4 onion and approx. 1/4 Cup of frozen (assorted color) bell peppers. We are not fans of "chunky" tomatoes, so I smashed them while cooking the rice mixture. To the boiling water I disolved 1 chicken bouillon cube and one packet of Sazon Goya flavoring (without annatto). It turned out great. A nice alternative to our normal "skillet" rice.
