Add rice to the pan, and stir to coat grains with oil. Mix in green bell pepper, cumin, chili powder, tomato sauce, salt, garlic, saffron, and water. Cover, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until rice is tender. Occasionally stir.
Tips
Instead of oil, I like to use bacon drippings. Sometimes, I like to use oil and cook the rice in a large skillet until it appears brown. I then add onion. If you do this, add a little more oil or bacon drippings.
