Easy Spanish Rice

1 cup rice
1 or 2 small cans of tomato sauce (use 2 cans for moist rice, or just 1 if you like it “restaurant” style)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp fresh ground or regular pepper
1 tbs oil
1 1/2 cups water

Heat oil in a saucepan. Pour in the rice, and brown slightly. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, cover and simmer on medium low until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is done.
