Instructions:

1. Prepare Vegetables:

   • Begin by chopping the carrots, sweet onion, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and garlic cloves.

2. Sauté Vegetables:

   • In a medium saucepan, melt the margarine or butter over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chopped vegetables (carrots, peas, sweet onion, red and green bell peppers, and garlic) to the saucepan.
   • Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes tender and the other vegetables are slightly softened.

3. Add Liquid and Salsa:

   • Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the salsa and water.
   • Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

4. Incorporate Rice:

   • Add the long-grain rice to the saucepan, stirring well to combine it with the vegetable mixture.
   • Allow the mixture to return to a boil.

5. Season and Simmer:

   • Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
   • Sprinkle in the cumin and turmeric, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the rice mixture.
   • Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the rice simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the rice is cooked to perfection, remove the saucepan from the heat.
   • Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and distribute the vegetables evenly.
   • Serve hot as a delicious standalone dish or as a flavorful side to your favorite Mexican-inspired meals.
