This is how I grew up making Mexican rice. Yum. You may easily halve the recipe but i like to use leftovers for making stuffed peppers.

Sounds great! Thanks :)


I made this tonight! We give it an A+! I halved the recipe but did everything exactly as written. This will be my new go to mexican rice recipe instead of the package rice. Thanks Missdrea!


This sounds very tasty! I'll have to try it! Thanks CMN for showing this in the 'I Made It' group!


Wonderful!


Yay! glad you liked it cmn! it is a big batch. i like to use half of it to fill stuffed peppers later in the week.


I made this today to go with Chicken Nacho Bake, a recipe from this site! It was perfect with this! I made this exactly as written. I used low sodium chicken broth, so I had to add extra salt. This was very easy and very tasty! Whenever I make the Chicken Nacho Bake, I'll make this to go with it! Great recipe! I added a photo. :)


I have been looking for some rice recipes thanks. I saved this one.


Lilian, thanks for posting such a pretty pic of my recipe and for the feedback!


Super!


Thanks for the feedback lilian!



Very good and has tons of flavor! I used yellow rice cause that's what I had on hand. I love the peas in this and have never had Mexican rice with peas before! Added a pic. and sorry about it being so dark...my flash wasn't working and it was a crummy dark day :)
