Add oil, onion, garlic and rice to a large pot or dutch oven. Saute on medium-high, stirring occasionally, until rice is well-toasted and light golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups water, vegetables, tomato paste, Caldo de Tomate, chile powder if using, and 1/2 tsp salt; stir. Loosely cover pot with lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook at a very low simmer, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed and rice is fluffy, about 25-30 minutes. Salt to taste.

Do not attempt to make this, or any other rice, in an Instant Pot. They burn short grain rice, and often produce underdone long grain rice. I've had so many unpredictable failures that I'm not sure why people insist on cooking rice in them.
