Add chopped onion and stir until it starts to brown.

Add 1 cup of long grain rice to the wok and toast for 2-3 minutes without adding water.

Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth and stir well.

Add 1.5 cups of enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup of salsa or picante sauce to the rice mixture and stir to combine.

Cover the wok with a lid and let it cook for 7-8 minutes.

After 7-8 minutes, check if the rice is sticking to the bottom and give it a quick stir.

Cover the wok again and let it cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until done.

Once the rice is cooked, turn off the stove and add the chopped red and green bell peppers on top for garnish.
