Arroz Mexican Style
"I do this rice all the time, i learned wheni was young while i watched my mother cooking it herself. Its incredibly easy to make. So me people call it 'Arroz Rojo' - 'Red Rice' just because it takes the redish orange color of the tomatoes sauce.
We usually eat this rice as a side dish to anything like Mole or any other mexican Dish."

I am a stay at home mom, I am Mexican and my husband was born in Alaska. He can't get enough of my cooking. And I can't get enough of his.
I have a 2 yr old daughter who is showing a knack for spicy mexican food, more than me, I cant eat a jalapeño even if you paided me, I joke around with my family saying I am a defective mexican because I won't eat excessivly spicy foods.
