SOOO GOOD!!!! Toasting the rice is a game changer! I had tried a couple different recipes and maybe I messed it up but it did not taste good lol but this one was a home run!!!
Super easy and delicious!
My go to Mexican rice recipe!
Yum, yum, yum!!
Loved this rice. I am not a huge fan of Mexican food but my husband loves it. We made Tequila lime chicken (food tv recipe also) and needed a side with it. I found this recipe and tried it. I think I goofed because my tomato paste was double concentrate so I didn’t need the full 3 tbsp but it was still good. Will definitely make again.
Love it!
Delicious and super easy to make. My husband called it “restaurant quality.” Our new favorite!
This turned out great. Really fluffy and the cilantro in the cooking was a great touch. I pulled it out with the chile and it was just the right amount of cilantro flavor.
I really enjoyed making this and the flavor was spot-on. Thanks for giving us a simple but flavorful recipe! I sautéed some shredded carrots with the onion, which added just a touch of sweetness and color.
delicious
