Add oil, onion and garlic to a medium sauce pot; sauté onion and garlic over medium heat until onions are soft and transparent. Add uncooked rice, chili powder, cumin and oregano; continue to stir and cook for about 2 minutes to toast the rice and spices. The rice should be making crackling noises.
Add water and salt; stir; cover; turn heat to medium-high; allow it to come to a boil. As soon as it reaches a full boil, turn heat down to low, or slightly above low; simmer for 15 minutes. Turn heat off; let sit for 10 minutes without removing the lid. Fluff the rice with a fork.
Serve sprinkled with sliced green onions on top.
