For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture. If you don't have instant rice, you can use regular long-grain rice, but increase the cooking time accordingly (about 20-25 minutes). Add 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor and presentation. This dish is also great served over quinoa or couscous instead of rice. Make ahead tip: This can be fully prepared and reheated, or ingredients can be prepped in advance.
