AUTHENTIC MEXICAN RICE

5/2/2019

Authentic Mexican Rice

This Mexican Rice rivals any restaurant, is so easy to make at home and the perfect side for all your Mexican dishes! It’s light, fluffy, and infused with perfect spice and flavor. The key to great and authentic Mexican Rice is basmati rice, fresh vegetables, herbs and spices. For a change, try adding black beans or grilled corn. Perfect by itself, or layered in tacos, burritos, enchiladas. Olé!

Oh Mexican Rice, how do I love thee?! Let me count the ways! Just like Homemade Salsa, Salsa Verde, Guacamole or Pico de Gallo are served on the side of every Mexican meal, Authentic Mexican Rice is perfect all by itself, or on a plate alongside Burritos, Fajitas, Enchiladas and Tacos. All too often, homemade versions are either bland, dry or mushy. Not this Authentic Mexican Rice! It's filled with the perfect blend of spices and fresh vegetables that bring it to life!
