Reviews
At what point do I add the thawed corn?
I thought this recipe was great and easy to make. I substituted the rice with a 7 grain medley and added a little chili powder and used medium salsa for an extra kick. Definitely adding this recipe to my favorites!
Was OK, a bit too much acidity/tomato from the salsa, but that could be due to the salsa I picked. Over all quick and easy and definitely edible.
I absolutely love this dish! I was a little hesitant to make it at first but it is wonderful and sooooo easy to make. Thanks a bunch!
I made this rice to serve with taos and it was very good. I added a bit more seasoning to it but overall it was a good recipe that I will definitely make again.
This recipe, if made as written, is bland and disappointing. After reading the other reviews who rated it highly, I realized that almost everyone had made alterations to add some flavor. I wish people would rate the recipe as written and not give it a 5 if they have had to make changes. I should have read the reviews first instead of just going off the rating.
We were looking for a great salsa rice dish and started with this one. We started with this recipe and have modified it a little to better suit us. We use a 15 oz. can of Black beans, 1.25 cups of salsa (a local favorite called Firehouse Salsa), and 1 cup of corn.
This was so easy and so good! I just used one of the whole grain 90 second microwave rice packages from Uncle Bens. Then I added the beans, corn, and salsa. . mixed it up and served! Took about 3 minutes total and was great paired with the jalapeno/onion chicken from this episode!
I wasn’t to sure if I would like this recipe, but I actually liked it. I don’t care for the cilantro, so I don’t know if I will use it next time. I don’t like spicy food so this was good, not to spicy. My kids didn’t like it and thought it was to spicy.
Also, instead of using water with the rice use chicken stock.. MUCH better!
I made this rice today and it was good. I used beef broth instead of the water, you can also use chicken, to add some flavor to it…plain brown rice can be bland. The salsa I used was garlic lime salsa and it gave it a good twist.
Thanks, my picky family loved it.
