How to make MEXICAN RICE | Easy recipe for Mexican Red Rice

Today I am making homemade Mexican rice. This is one of many ways to get perfect fluffy Mexican rice. The tomato sauce amount is to your preference and so are the ratios of spices and seasonings.

Simple, short, straight to the point videos is why I like Simply Mama

[@nancywatkins5836]

I agree. I just ♥️ her!

[@Kassgaxiola]

I’m a mom of 2 and Mexican/hispanic that was never taught how to cook. This video literally taught me how to make rice. I ALWAYS come back to it whenever I make it in my house hold. Thank you so much Angelica :) ❤️ That was also my mothers name!

[@blueskadoo1402]

Add some finely diced red bell pepper and about 2 TS of Ancho Powder.

[@StaggerProductions]

“02/06/23” - The date I made rice successfully for the first time in my life. Thank you Simply Mama. The easiest tutorial I could find on KZbin with the least ingredients as well. 👏

[@mayolson2]

I don't have to write this down because it can be found on page 76 of her book. The book has so many great recipes. And no I am just a follower and not a relative !

[@mitch5077]

Thank You! I love the way you initially give all the ingredients and then restate it again when you are putting it all together, that helps to repeat, it's not redundant, it's great teaching skills.

[@colettemcwilliams1325]

In the Army we are taught to repeat the information 3 times and for the dummies in the back stomp a foot. LOL!!

@@CS-ys4sy when using the Knorr chicken bouillon powder do you then not use salt? In other words, can it be used as a very flavorful salt substitute in certain dishes like this?

Looks great! We call it orange rice at my house but it's Mexican rice through and through! My mom actually uses big onion slices in hers! It makes it taste great.

[@PacoRobbins]

I love your recipes. I grew up not knowing how to get so many things perfect with mexican food and you've seriously solved almost every problem I've had.

[@rafaelsmith5411]

Mexican rice is very interesting. But, I love rice. Thank you for recipe. Great Video!!!

[@feliciasafunnygirl2256]

Yes pretty spot on with how me and my family make ours. You can also use some bacon grease if you have it to toast the rice with.

Looks great, and simple at that! Thanks for sharing!

help... now addicted to this lol i add loads of onion as i love it thanks for this video

[@emilygalindo7575]

I love Mexican rice! Unfortunately I can't cook Mexican rice to save my life. I enjoy it when I'm at a restaurant or invited over to a friend's house. Every time I try to make rice something always goes wrong and I feel like giving up. This recipe looks very simple I will give it one more try in making Mexican rice.

[@mindsey2225]

Ever since I found this video I’ve been making this with dinner at least once a week. I’ll even crave it and get up in the middle of the night and make it. 😂 I’ve almost got it memorized! I love your channel so much and have a playlist full of your recipes and will be purchasing your cook book. You’re amazing, thank you so much! My boyfriend and sisters faces light up as soon as they try one of your recipes! 💜🥰

[@shibosuru]

This is the best sounding mexican rice I've seen. I usually don't like Mexican rice but this one I'll definitely try.

[@leslieann7826]

For my rice, I used your arroz con pollo recipe. Literally to the T without the chicken and it comes out super good! We LOVE it. Best flavor.

Mmm that rice looks so good! Somewhat similar to how my mom would make it

[@gigispencer2136]

[@melodyspicer3438]

I like that you add the bouillon when you sauté your rice.

[@91408jae]

I like how you just get straight to the recipe. I hate trying to find cooking tutorials that are 15 min long and it has a 8 min intro. I appreciate your videos! I’ve used many of them!!!🥰

[@bruiz5240]

Does it have to be long grain rice?

[@annaheya2109]

I don't think do But I find long grain rice to be tastier

[@sharonwoodard4315]

I make mine pretty much the same way except instead of tomato sauce try using salsa either mild or hot whatever you like and it's really a lot better I think anyway

[@velindanoyb691]

I do that as well. Plus I add some finely chopped green and red peppers when I sautee the rice.

[@jonathansongco4302]

Tasty.

[@sb.1035]

just made your enchiladas again my man told me to thank you once more the recipe is so good lol thats a compliment hes really fussy

[@timothykelly2605]

I make rice similar to this. I like to dice my onions fairly small. I also hate using tomato sauce as I really dislike the flavor when using it. Instead I use Knorr tomato bullion (cube or powder) and chicken broth instead of water. I sometimes throw in a very small amount of veggies as well such as carrot, green Lima, yellow corn, or green beans.

[@josiahmarmolejo8769]

Wanted to make my girl some red enchiladas but I forgot how to make the rice. Thank you 🙏

[@emilyfarris3510]

It looks delicious and easy!😋🥰

[@stephenwong6838]

I’m just curious about “browning” and or “toasting” the rice grains on that low-slow heat before adding the spices - Does it drastically divert from the traditional method and is the end result as flavorful - I’m just asking Also can I use only “Tomato Paste” instead of the “tomato sauce” to help intensify the UMAMI and more importantly to prevent the rice from retaining that wet-soggy consistency - I feel that nobody enjoys eating wet rice and would prefer it to be more on the “moist and fluffy” side - I’m always looking for that one step or ingredient to add to a recipe that would make it as close to the traditional as possible that’s all - THANK YOU for your excellent tutorial, I really appreciate that you actually “washed / rinsed” the rice before cooking it - I definitely would adapt that step since it makes sense 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼👍

[@justpassingthru3186]

[@monagabby73]

This is a great recipe! I also use oregano and chicken broth instead of chicken bullion flavor

[@AZHITW]

Me too. I'm always trying to reduce my salt intake and bullion is really salty, so I make my own chicken broth. I put garlic in my chicken broth so never added fresh to my Mexican rice, but will have to try it because I 🧡 garlic.

[@gloriaremesal150]

My moms words as well “ don’t lift the lid!!” 😂 I’ve been watching some videos of Puerto Rican rice and I cringe every time they lift the lid and mix it and then put the lid back on. I’m like ahhhhh noooo lol.

Hello dear friend, excellent Mexican rice recipe looks delicious. Have a lovely day new friend/ Gosia

[@lidiagarcia94]

I personally love rice with canned tomato because it gives it more flavor but my MIL uses fresh tomatoes that she blends and it’s not great but I’m wondering if it’s possible to achieve a delicious rice with fresh tomatoes and if so how??

[@aprilas95]

what can you substitute for the tomato sauce? Can you use tomato paste add a little water or can I sub the sauce for canned diced tomatoes?

[@macaronipop]

Looks deelish!

[@sassysanders3997]

MSG is in the chicken bullion you use and it triggers ASTHMA in people prone to it. Our family can not use it. So, would you recommend substituting 1 or 2 cups of liquid chicken broth to get the same taste??? I really want to make it.

[@marybuchholz6186]

I would use the chicken broth instead of the water, or half water, half chicken broth to equal 2 cups.

[@ssveta4]

So Knorr brand actually does make a no-MSG version! I think it’s available at some Walmart’s but you can also order it online!(: I didn’t know it had MSG until my mom pointed it out so I don’t really want to use it anymore but now I know they have a version of the powder without it

[@jennsluis6125]

I have asthma and I use several varieties of the Knorr bullion. it has never triggered me into an attack, so i would say this is a case by case basis

[@TheCman5015PLPro]

We are very used to the box Mexican rice. I am curious how this will taste in comparison. :D

[@GaryT1952]

You use chix bullion powder quite often...can you sub chix stock for water instead?

[@Lynnetulsa]

My grandma always added saffron. Would love to see your version using saffron if you have one 💜. Also do you know why saffron varies in price so much. A local mexican market sells a good size bag for $5.00 but my grocer sells a package with just a few threads for the same price. Confusing!

[@angelitaazul2001]

I like making my own sauce cause canned tomato sauce gives rice a weird taste. Looks good though. Thanks for sharing.
