This is one of my favorite recipes. Whenever I cook anything Mexican, I prepare this as a side dish. I have been known to eat it right out of the pan, before it is even finished cooking.

I'm a vegetarian and I love this recipe. I omit the chicken and add extra vegetables, such as bell peppers and zucchini. It's a delicious and healthy meal that I make all the time.

This is my go-to Mexican rice recipe. It's always a crowd-pleaser and it's so easy to make. I love the addition of corn and black beans, which give it a nice pop of flavor and texture.

I had some leftover rice and decided to try this recipe. It was a great way to use up the leftovers and it turned out really tasty. I added a bit of extra cheese and cilantro, which made it even better.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but this rice recipe changed my mind. It was so flavorful and addictive, I couldn't stop eating it. Will definitely be making this again soon.

The rice was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you're sensitive to heat.

Quick and easy recipe that turned out delicious. I used brown rice instead of white, and it worked out great. Served it with grilled chicken and a side of guacamole. Yum!

I've tried many Mexican rice recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The combination of spices and the slight smokiness from the chipotle peppers was perfect. My family loved it!
