For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped jalapeño to the skillet along with the garlic and onion. To add more depth of flavor, toast the chili powder in the skillet for a minute before adding the other ingredients. Be careful not to burn it. Leftover Arroz Rojo can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
