Our friend Sheri loves to entertain in her beautiful home.  One of the dishes we have 'stolen' from her is her Spanish Rice.  It is spectacular and it's now a regular in our home.  The pineapple juice element adds so much to the recipe!

Ingredients

 1 tbsp Canola Oil
 1 cup Jasmine or Basamati RiceI've been using Basamati more recently - It's less sticky, and seems better for fried rice recipes.
 1 tsp Garlic Powder
 1 tsp Salt
 2 tbsp Taco SauceLa Victoria Taco Sauce is a great refrigerator staple and works perfectly here. Sheri's original recipe calls for tomato sauce, which is really good. But we are taco sauce people now. And when I make it for Asian food, I often use chili garlic sauce!
 2 Bay Leaves
 2 Water
 ¼ cup Pineapple Juice. This adds fantastic taste. Do it if you can!
