  1. This was really great for a side rice dish! I was making salmon tonight with a lime/tequila sauce and thought I'd pair the dinner up with other "mexican flair" foods. I chose this since it looked simple...but not only was it simple, it was SUPER flavorful! I tripled the garlic (as in every recipe I make) and used a bit more crushed red pepper and a bit less salsa (probably only 10 ounces - Chi Chi's brand) and opted for the low sodium chicken broth. YUMMY!!! Hubby and I devoured it. It was a bit too spicy for my little ones...but that just meant more for us! ;) Will make this again and again with any Mexican meals. Thanks again Kitten! We loved it!
     
  2. Perfect easy side for our shrimp quesadillas and black beans! Loved tossing it all in the pot and cooking the rest of dinner knowing it was percolating away. Didn't have picante sauce, but I did have a jar of really good smoked chipotle salsa so i used that and it was great! Thanks for my new go-to mexican rice side. Glad I snatched it up so quickly as the first to review!
     
  3. This is very similar to my "go to" version. However, I start by dicing three slices of thick cut bacon, and cooking the bacon until it's crisp and rendered. Then I omit the oil and proceed. I use less Pace Picante, medium, than the 16 oz called for... usually about 8 oz. Yum!
     
  4. Great recipe. Done be wary of the amount of liquid. I thought 2 cups of liquid AND salsa would result in soupy rice. It does not at all. I added seasoned ground pork and a bit of cheese to make a casserole type dish. Was wonderful
     
  5. This is a very tasty rice and excellent side dish to either taco night or enchiladas. Since I am such a wimp I do have to make sure to only use a mild salsa and allow the red pepper flakes to spice it up. Other than that this is incredibly tasty.
