How I make Mexican Rice:

How I make my Mexican rice:

Brown 1 cup of rice in pan with just a little oil & about a tablespoon minced garlic.

Once golden brown, add about half a tablespoon of tomato paste, and about two tablespoons of chicken bouillon (not the cubes). Mix well until evenly covers rice.

I like to sprinkle in some basil or oregano

Add two cups of water (the perfect rice for me is always a 2:1 ratio of rice and water)

Cover and bring to a simmer

Keep on simmer for 20mins (DO NOT REMOVE LID)

Once 20mins has passed, turn off the heat and KEEP THE LID ON, and let it rest on the stove for another 10 mins.

It may be tempting to remove the lids but don’t do it! 😅

While your rice cooks, make your beans, nachos, and quesadillas! Or whatever you choose to pair with it! 😋

... Read moreMexican rice is a staple in many households, providing a delightful and flavorful addition to various dishes. To enhance your cooking experience, it’s important to pick the right type of rice. Long-grain rice, such as Basmati or Jasmine, offers a light and fluffy texture that complements the flavors of Mexican cuisine. Additionally, you can experiment by adding ingredients such as diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or even corn to give your rice a vibrant twist. Cooking methods can also vary—try toasting the rice in butter for an added nuttiness before simmering it with spices. Some variations include using broth instead of water for a richer flavor. Don't forget to season your rice well; a blend of cumin, chili powder, and lime juice can elevate the dish marvelously. Lastly, considering the OCR content, serve your Mexican rice alongside tasty quesadillas or nachos for a perfect day of deliciousness! Enjoy your culinary journey and make every meal a celebration!
