Lone Star Spanish Rice
"This is the spanish rice I grew up eating and I like to serve it with my Creamy Tex Mex Enchiladas. Depending on whether or not you are serving a chicken or beef main dish, coordinate the broth to go along with it. You can also substitute black or kidney beans if you prefer. It comes from a Pace Picante Tex Mex cookbook. Oh so good!"

Delish, it is "Delish", and thank you! -
This was really good. The only changes I made was to add jalape?os for an extra kick. Thanks!! -
This was excellent I used the boxed spanish rice and added the rest as directed Thanks -
I made this to go with fajitas and it was pretty good and easy to make. I didn't use the green onion because I was out of them, but I think they were needed for the good flavor they'd add. I think I'll add a little cilantro next time too for no other reason than I love cilantro. I'll definately make this again. It was a nice change of pace from the usual Mexican rice or beans, which I normally would make. Thanks for sharing. This is a winner. -
I made your rice to accompany chicken fajitas and it was a PERFECT choice! I used beef base (plus water) for the broth and omitted the green onions (I was out). I loved the mix of spices and the texture of the pinto beans.This was definitely restaurant worthy. Thanks Delish, for posting a recipe I will make often! Roxygirl

My all time favorite thing to do is cook and bake. My love for cooking began my first year at college. It has grown into an obsession with recipes. Fortunately, my husband is supportive :) I love the Taste of Home magazines. Most of the recipes I try from their publications are outstanding. I also enjoy running long distances and exercising.
