Vegan Mexican Meal

Usually on Cinco De Mayo I have a need for Mexican Food.  Even though I am on the Engine 2 Diet, this is not going to stop me from eating Aros (mexican rice).  So I decide to go all out and measure my ingredients which allowed me to post it today.

Arros
1 cup  Brown long grain rice - spray pam on a baking pan and spread rice on it and broil until golden brown(keep an eye on it, it only takes a few minutes)
Then transfer it to a large frying pan.
In a jar add
1 can of tomato sauce plus fill the can twice with water.
1t ground comino
1/2 t sea salt

1/2 a bell pepper
