In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water, 1 tsp Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest later), and a big pinch of salt (for 4 servings, use a medium pot, 1 1⁄2 cups water, and 2 tsp Southwest Spice Blend). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
