My Favorite Mexican Rice

EXCELLENT! This recipe is now my new favorite Mexican rice side dish and I have made a few times now since finding this. The smallest can of tomato sauce I can find is 8oz, and so while the first time I used the 4oz tomato sauce, the second time I used a Knorr tomato and chicken bouillon cube instead (these can be found in the Mexican aisle and most grocery stores). I hate having half can of anything in my fridge. 😂 The third time, I had some leftover adobe peppers and used a couple spoonfuls of the adobo sauce in place of the tomato sauce and this added a lil’ heat and some smokiness. All three times - great!! I also think the cheese can be optional. Hands down, great recipe that can be adjusted. Thanks wakkojenni!

Ok, I doctored it. But it was a hit and hubby wants me to make it again. Left out the tomato sauce. Added a left over chicken breast chopped. Added a bag of mixed vegetables. The seasoning was great and it became a one pot meal.

Excellent recipe! I made this using 1, and a half cup of Calrose rice, because it's what I have. I only used 1, 12oz can of chicken broth, and included the juice of a 7oz can of Green chili's. I also omitted the chili powder, as I didn't have any, and followed the rest of the recipe as written (Photo included without cheese) Turned out exactly as I hoped! This one beats mother-in-law's so it's a keeper!

Very tasty and flavorful. Everyone enjoyed it. I did do 1 TSP butter and 2 TSP oil. Plus, I sautéed the onions and garlic with the rice. Turned out great. I tried other recipes and this is by far the best I’ve had/made.

I made this to go with chile rellenos. Since those are stuffed with cheese and deep-fried, I opted not to put shredded cheese on top of this rice. Instead of the canned peppers, I used 2 roasted poblano peppers diced. Delicious!!!

I didn't add salt for health reasons and I didn't have any cumin but will get some for next time as it wasn't as spicy as I'd hoped. I added some chipotle sauce in lieu and a package of pre-cooked chicken to make it more a complete meal. I thought it was a little mushy so will go with just 2 cups of broth next time and see if that helps. Also used 1 cup of Mexican blend cheese as that's what I had on hand. Overall enjoyed it and will most certainly have it again. Thanks!

I made this recipe today* its delicious, the only thing I did different, is I added squash to m ine, it's a great recipe! I didnt add the salt to the dish till after it was done, and I also used no sodium chicken broth..:)
