Nice Mexican twist on boring old rice. If you can't find parboiled rice at your grocery store, long-grain rice may be substituted, but just won't be quite as yummy.

The rice was a bit mushy for my taste. I think I'll cook it for a little less time next time.

I found that this recipe was a bit bland. I added some extra spices to give it more flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. It's also a good vegetarian option if you omit the meat.
