MEXICAN SPICED RICE

Quick and simple way to add some extra flavor to plain old white rice. This was something I threw together to go with some fajitas I had made. I usually make this rice in my rice cooker, but it works on the stove top as well. I've used regular long grain rice, or parboiled, both work fine.

  • Use a large pot or skillet. This will give the rice plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Bring the water or broth to a boil before adding the rice. This will help the rice cook more evenly.
  • Cover the pot or skillet and cook the rice over low heat. This will help the rice absorb the liquid and cook through without burning.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This will help separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Mexican rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make perfect Mexican rice every time.
