BROWN RICE WRAPS

Brown rice is a healthy alternative to white rice. Try rolling it in a soft tortilla along with your other favorite ingredients to make a nutritious wrap.

Brown Rice

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth - or for a southwestern-style rice, substitute 1/4 cooking liquid with salsa

2 cups brown rice, short grain (dry)

• Combine rice and broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to a simmer and cook covered for about 50 minutes.
• Remove from heat (still covered) and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork.
• Tip: for southwestern-style rice, substitute 1/4 of the cooking liquid with salsa.
