This recipe is from Ree Drummond / The Pioneer Woman's new holiday cookbook. It is on Food Network too but using canola oil instead.

It has strong but fresh lime flavor so be advised. It is so good. Enjoy! ChefDLH

- Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and onions and stir around and cook until onions start to soften about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the rice.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your Mexican rice. Use fresh, flavorful vegetables, and high-quality rice.
- Toast your rice: Toasting your rice before cooking it helps to bring out its flavor and give it a slightly nutty taste. Be sure to stir the rice constantly while toasting so that it doesn't burn.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook your rice will also impact its flavor. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth, instead of water.
- Add some spices: Mexican rice is typically seasoned with a variety of spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices to your taste, such as oregano, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcook the rice: Mexican rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooking the rice will make it mushy.
Conclusion:
Mexican rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of Mexican dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and easy side dish, give Mexican rice a try!
