This is an excellent authentic Mexican rice recipe (not to be confused with Spanish rice) that I make as a side dish with all of my Mexican dishes. The key is cooking the rice properly and using good quality chicken broth or stock.

Steps:
- Boil tomatoes in water until skin bursts.
- In blender, puree tomatoes, and half of the garlic and onion.
- Brown rice in oil.
- Add the rest of the garlic and onion to rice.
- Pour tomato sauce over rice.
- Do not stir mixture.
- Simmer for 5 minute.
- Add broth and cilantro.
- Let simmer for 30 minutes (until rice is soft) without stirring.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the rice will taste. Look for long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, as they cook up fluffy and separate. Use fresh vegetables and herbs, and a good quality broth or stock.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: This helps to remove the starch from the rice, which prevents it from becoming sticky. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Cook the rice in a covered pot: This helps to trap the steam and cook the rice evenly. Do not lift the lid during cooking, as this will release the steam and make the rice cook unevenly.
- Let the rice rest before serving: This allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and fluff up. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Add your favorite seasonings and vegetables: Mexican rice is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite seasonings, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika. You can also add vegetables, such as corn, black beans, or bell peppers.
Conclusion:
Mexican rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your Mexican rice turns out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying side dish, give Mexican rice a try!
