Heat oil in large frying pan over medium heat.
Add rice and cook, stirring until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Combine bouillon and water in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 3 minutes.
When rice is brown, add bouillon mixture, tomato sauce, salt, garlic, cumin and garlic pepper to the pan.
Stir and cover the pan. Let simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until all is cooked and there is no liquid left.
Fluff before serving and top with cilantro if desired.
