2 large cloves garlic, minced

I used a different brand of salsa than the one specified in the recipe and it came out great! The rice was still flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again with a different salsa.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The rice was still delicious! I served it with grilled chicken and it was a hit.
