Super Easy Mexican Rice
"I came up with this recipe after my mother in law gave me a recipe that she eyeballs...I tried and could not make a good Mexican rice. Finally, I altered and exchanged ingredients until I came up with this one.This recipe works well for beginners or someone who needs a flavorful, quick Mexican rice. It cuts out the step where you boil and blend jalapenos, tomatoes, onion, and garlic and blends them. I hope you enjoy as much as I do...and my guests!"
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 cup rice (white, long grain)
- 2 cups water
- 0.75 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon (I prefer Knorr)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, fresh or from the jar
- oil
directions
- Coat bottom of pan with oil (app 1 tablespoon corn oil) on med to med/high heat. Add rice and stir until coated with oil. Continue stirring until rice becomes solid white in color. Depending on your pan, you may need to add a tad bit more oil.
- Once rice is white in color, quickly add water, tomato sauce, bullion, salt, and garlic. Stir and cover. Lower to medium to medium/low heat for approximately 20 minutes.
- DO NOT PEEK! DO NOT STIR!
- Fluff rice. Each grain should appear split down the middle and be a light pink/orange color.
- Enjoy!
- Note: it you over stir it will be mushy, if you peek it will not split down the middle. And in the last step, if you have a film of tomato sauce on top, don't worry. When you fluff it will be fine.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am currently a student...soon to graduate!I love to cook and have been cooking since I got married five years ago. I have to admit in the beginning I cold not make anything edible...bless my husband for eating the disasters anyways. But, through trial and error, I have become a pretty good cook, not a chef by any means but not bad if I do say so myself. I have been using recipezaar for years now, honestly reading recipes and reviews here really helped me the most. I know that a five star recipe will get me compliments. Oh...and I have two babies, Isabelle my black yorkie-poo who is three and Zoey my red heeler mix who is almost 2.
