saute chopped onion and garlic in olive oil, add rice and coat evenly with the oil toast it a little bit, add a can of diced tomatoes or use fresh, add chopped serano pepper ( we like it spicy) or you can use something like rotel. add chicken stock to cover the mixture by about an inch or so bring it up to a boil, cover turn it down to a low simmer for 20 minutes DO NOT PEAK! if you let the steam out it won't turn out as well. after the 20 minutes turn off the heat and let it set for a couple of minutes and then fluff with a fork

This is the one I use. It takes a little longer than most, but it is really good.

i make an awesome
mexican rice with chorizo, rotel, black beans, and rice. cook everything and mix it all together. my aunt made it for my mother during a visit and ive made it ever since. depending on the spiciness of the rotel (hot mild medium) and the chorizo it isnt terribly spicy but it can be.
