Mexican Avocado Rice

1 cup long-grain white rice

1/2 cup chopped onions

1/4 cup chopped chiles (or other preferred pepper)

2 Tbsp butter or margarine

2 cups chicken broth

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup fresh or bottled salsa

2 Tbsp chopped cilantro (as garnish)

Saute the rice, onion, and chiles in butter until the rice turns opaque. Heat chicken broth to boiling, then add the cumin and rice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until the rice is tender and broth is absorbed (about 25 minutes). Add the avocado and the salsa; mix well.

Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
