MEXICAN RICE
Mexican rice is very easy to make and is always the perfect side for any taco night!
Here are a couple of things to note when making Mexican Rice.
Rice: Use a long grain white rice or Jasmine rice, both will cook up to a fluffy and delicious texture. Do not use instant rice.
Chili Powder: I usually add a teaspoon. This gives the dish that beautiful orange color and flavor without the spice. If you want more spice, add more chili powder.
Ground Cumin: This is what makes it Mexican Rice instead of Spanish Rice, which uses saffron.

I’m a mama with a busy schedule, who loves cooking shows and has two very, VERY active boys! I enjoy making food that is quick, simple and easy to clean up.
I do not love extremely long recipe posts that share my every thought as I created the dish or that repeat the same thing over and over 🤣.
I’ll leave that to the professionals 😜.
Any recipe I share has been tested by my own family and officially approved with two thumbs up 👍👍!
