  1. This was really yummy! I did add some cilantro. I couldn't help it, I had soooo much of it! Excellent side dish for any mexican-style meal! My BF liked it better before I added the cheese but I think it is awesome either way! Thanks!
     
  2. Very tasty. I love mexican rice and this one is so easy to make. Since we are vegetarians I replaced the chicken broth with my home made veggie broth and it tasted wonderful. Definetly a thumbs up.
     
  3. Very tasty rice dish, I made this to go along with Seared Steak, Pepper & Onion Fajitas recipe #26546 and loved the combination of flavours together. This will become a favourite in our house, thanks for posting.
     
  4. Delish! I had cooked rice on hand and merely added it to the other "sauteed" vegetables. After heating, I added 1/3 cup fiesta cheese (a mixture of 5 mexican cheeses from the grocers, minced jalapeno pepper, and two TBLS cilantro (fresh). Nice texture, and tasty! I ate mine wrapped in a tortilla and my husband enjoyed it as a side dish. I also used half green and half red pepper since I didnt' have much fresh green pepper at home. Love the dish--must try it next time with the avocado. Thanks so much for sharing it.
