Recipes Side Dish Rice Side Dish Recipes Mexican Rice with Bell Pepper 4.6 (1,136) 823 Reviews 74 Photos This is an excellent Mexican rice recipe with bell peppers (not to be confused with Spanish rice) that I make as a side to serve with all of my Mexican dishes. The key is cooking the rice properly and using good quality chicken broth or stock.
