Make the Rice
In a medium saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Stir in minced onion and diced bell pepper. Saute until tender.
Pour the rice into the pan and stir to coat the grains with oil. Mix in chili powder, ground cumin, garlic salt, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the petite diced tomatoes and broth. Stir to combine. Cover and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low.
Simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Serves 6-8.
