This is a great recipe to use in a DIY "burrito bowl" or to have on hand for meal prep and meal planning. I enjoy this Spanish Rice recipe when tomatoes and peppers are in season and we need a healthy and easy side dish. Enjoy!
I've placed and * by the ingredients that I can find at my local Illinois famers market.

5 small-medium tomatoes, diced and roughly mashed*

Add an even layer of the mashed tomatoes, a little onion, salt and pepper to the buttered casserole dish.
Add the rice evenly over the tomatoes.
