For a richer flavor, try using chicken broth instead of water. If you don't have tomato bouillon, you can substitute with a teaspoon of tomato paste and a pinch of salt. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or corn, to the rice for added texture and flavor. Garnish with a lime wedge and a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema for an extra touch of authenticity.
