Note
For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or increase the amount of salsa. You can substitute chicken broth for part of the water for added flavor. If using regular brown rice, soak it beforehand or increase cooking time. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
