Instant Pot Mexican Rice | Restaurant Style

[@Nativegrly5]

I've made this 3 times. Recipe is exact and on point. Family love's this! They think I'm a the best cook. Lol!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

That is great! Thank you very much for the feedback and I’m so glad you and your family liked it.

[@galactusgalan4233]

This is on point. Keep in mind the chili powder he uses is very mild. I used fresh Arbol chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon per cup gives a nice bite.

[@Ruppie1993]

Just came across this, made it last night and it was absolutely fire !!!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@salinamartin8711]

I make this on the stovetop but wanted to do in my IP. Great recipe. I always take a handful of cilantro stem and all whole and put on top before cooking. Can't wait to try in the pot!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Great tip!

[@susieQ666]

making this tonight ...your recipe stood out ..looks scrum ...

Nice job. Just what I was looking for. Making it tonight.

Hope you enjoy!

[@christinahubbard4692]

I'm making this for the second time this month and I have to say its absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

You are so welcome!

[@melissabenavides9738]

Super easy to make and it came out delicious! Thank you so much

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

My pleasure 😊

[@beverlyfitzgerald7675]

BRAVO! After watching several, very inept Mexican rice, Instant Pot videos, you are the only one who started out right ~~ you toasted the rice first then proceeded with the other ingredients. Suggest you use finely chopped scallions instead of the other onion choices. Gives color and adds to a nicer flavor profile.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Yay! Thank you!

[@jaimscastillo]

Thanks for this! Love the flavor and this has been a favorite of the family.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

You're so welcome!

That looks AMAZING!!!

It is!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Your right about most Mexican places having bland rice! This looks much better and very easy to do. Cheers brother! 🌮🍻

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Yea Rus, I'm not much into that bland rice. I always have to drizzle the salsa on it to give it a bit of a kick. This works out pretty well with a lot more flavor. Thank you man..

[@Thesushiboii]

Nice man! Didn’t know I could do so much with the Instant pot.

[@TheDjcobra2001]

This is good my to be the first thing I cook when I get my instant pot! Thanks, it looks sooo good!

[@ivonnebarrientos4685]

I have the newest model air fryer/ instapot and it has no rice setting it’s been so hard finding videos that I can use. Thank you for adding the alternate cooking setting suggestion.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Glad it was helpful!

[@emeraldkimble7602]

This can be done in a rice cooker I’ve done it delish results

Works with Quinoa, too! Next time I'll half the salt, though. It was a little salty for my taste. Great recipe! Thanks!

Sounds great!

Mighty fine Jaxx!! came out beautiful it did

Beautiful rice ! I have made something similar but love your recipe and it looks so flavorful :) Thanks so much for sharing ! I can't wait to try this out.

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

Awesome recipe Jaxx, and I’m with you on the el pato tomato sauce, it’s really good! That’s a perfect Mexican rice and dead easy in a pressure cooker. Hope you have a great weekend and keep on cookin!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

You got that right brother that El Pato sauce is the shizzle.. I use it when I make my hot tamales. comes out awesome. Thanks and have a great weekend Charley

[@GreenhornBBQbeer]

Yeah, we're rice heads, nicely done Jaxx!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Hahaha nothing wrong with being a rice head.. I love it myself.. especially eggs and rice for breakfast, with a splash of soy sauce of course. Cheers brother.

Hope you guys enjoy! It's a great canvas too, play around with it. For more flavor switch up the chili powder or cook in chicken broth instead of water.

Man, I love chimichangas, I haven't had a good one since I live in Arizona.

[@katherinehendrix5325]

I use chicken broth, but this looks great. Might have to try a new recipe. Thanks.

[@janesuh2965]

Where do you get the knorr tomato bullion? the closest I can find here is the tomato bouillon with chicken flavor

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I get it at my local WalMart or if you have a hispanic market near you, you can check there.

[@lolaxdlv]

that’s what we use. his container is also tomato with chicken.

[@Datsyzerberg]

Hope youre doing well big dog.🤙🤙

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Hey man, how the heck are you? it's been a while.

[@Datsyzerberg]

@@JaxxDrinkwater been good man. I know I shoukd post more, but I always watch when you post. We gotta get out backpacking sometime man. Ive been wanting to get some southern hiking in.

[@queenanne94101]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that you call for 2 TABLESPOONS of bouillon in this video and 2 TEASPOONS in the written recipe. Also 1 teaspoon of salt in the video and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the written recipe (though you did say you could use less). I did a double batch off of the video and it was so salty I had to throw it out. Not the end of the world but you may want to tag the video with the corrections. But...you weren’t wrong about the flavor...I could still tell how amazing the flavor was and I plan to make another batch. Thanks!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Thanks for pointing that out, Queenanne! I must have misspoke with the tablespoon and teaspoon and didn't realize it - I'm a lameo! I will put the correction in the description box. Have a good one and thanks again!

[@queenanne94101]

Jaxx Drinkwater Southern Cooking & BBQ - Of course, no problem. I made another double batch and it came out beautifully. This is such a good recipe. Thanks for sharing it. 🍚😎

[@taylormoses7939]

Hey Jaxx! I made this recipe a few weeks ago and it was great. I don't have any tomato sauce on hand can I replace with tomato paste? Thanks man!

[@kellyfredrickson152]

I watched your video and I am going to give your recipe a try. I have tried making Mexican rice many times in my new Instant Pot and it always turns out gummy. Yours looked nice and fluffy. Is the El Pato a really spicy sauce or just spicy? Thank you for your video and time brother Jaxx.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I've always had a problem making Mexican rice in my pot too until this recipe. Not sure how your spice tolerance is, but I think El Pat is just spicy, not really spicy. This rice really doesn't, at least to me, have any/much heat to it. If you're concerned about the spiciness, you can sub regular tomato sauce. Hope you enjoy and would love to hear how it turns out for you!

[@shizyninjarocks]

As soon as I was El Pato, I knew this white boy was a pro.

[@RVingTheCountry]

This Gringo must have some Mexicano in him. Or his bf is Mexican. Haha

[@lisap1776]

Hey, Jaxx...do you have to use a pressure cooker, or can you use a slow cooker (I have a Ninja)?

[@kellyokamoto1604]

I'm rather a newbie at this Instant Pot game and have never made rice yet. This may be a dumb question but how much "cooked" rice does this yield? Is it the same as in a rice cooker situation? I ask only because the amount of water is NOT the same in the different methods. This sounds freakin' DELISH! Can't wait to try it out!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Yea it will be the same as a rice cooker situation. Most rice will triple when cooked. The water is different but remember it's under pressure and a rice cooker is not . just follow the recipe exactly and you will be golden..if you do anything different you may get a different result..

[@SpainonaFork]

First off, thank you for calling this Mexican rice and not Spanish rice...lol...seriously Jaxx, so easy to make and it came out looking AMAZING!!!!!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Haha haha I'd only call it Spanish rice if I wanted to be crucified. laughing.. Thanks for the comment and the love brother.

[@cedwards91]

Could I double this recipe ? And cook the same time?

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Yes, absolutely.

[@laurenmohler1396]

Can you double the recipe and still turn out the same if in 6qt instant pot

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I have not tried doubling it. I know the time would be the same. If you try doubling it, I would love to hear how it turns out!

[@barbaracluse5874]

I know that most recipes call for rinsing the rice. Do you rinse the rice in this recipe?

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

No, I never rinse my rice. Go for it though, if you roll like that.

[@epiren]

I came for the rice recipe. I'm subscribing for the beard.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Awesome! Thank you!

@@JaxxDrinkwater By the way, I made the rice. Total success. Thanks for the recipes.

[@barbaracluse5874]

How many minutes is the RICE button programmed for for this recipe?

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Not sure right off.

[@wrmattox]

Just tried it. Burn notice. I have an 8 qt. Is that the issue?

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I've never had issues with my 6 quart. I can't really speak for the 8 quart. Maybe try adding a tad bit more liquid.

[@yeshua1176]

Do you let it naturally depressurize after 10 minutes or do you bleed pressure off using the valve? I tried another recipe saying to let it naturally depressurize for 13 minutes after time was up and I ended up with a giant wad of sticky rice

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I would do 10 minutes at pressure and then just let it come down naturally .

No I don't !

Dude you helped me break the rice curse...lol I was unsuccessful many times....until this thank u

[@melaniesalazar3127]

Only thing is my rice cooker doesn’t behave well on sauté.....it over heats real quick.....I thought it was me but it doesn’t even brown the rice....I had to brown it in a big wok.....wok is all I had.....and then throw it into the instant pot with the rice setting.

[@eandtforever1]

i tried, it tasted really good but it came out gummy what did i do wrong

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Not at all sure. A tad too much liquid maybe..? What type of rice did you use?

[@karenughoc2849]

You need to rinse the ride to get rid of the starch and the arsenic

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

No, you don't actually. The starch makes no difference in a rice cooker. The rice does not stick together or get clumpy. I have tried both ways in the IP and rice cooker to see the difference and the only difference is it takes more time but other than that, the final product is the same. Cooking on the stove is somewhat different, as the rice is agitated during the cook and the starches can make the rice a bit more sticky and gummy, which is actually a good thing in say, risotto, so you should NEVER rinse that short grain sushi, paella or risotto rice. I use a minimal agitation method on the stove (when I use that method) but typically, I use a rice cooker or in this case, an Instant Pot, which is agitation free. Also, actual SCIENCE has found rinsing the rice doesn't rinse away much arsenic at all (which is actually found in higher levels in brown rice because of the bran and germ). The best method is to cook rice in water like pasta, that is a lot of water, and then drain it off. And all rice is not created equally when talking about arsenic. Some rice from some countries have more arsenic in others and some fields will have more arsenic as well. As a side fact, some rices are enriched. Rinsing the rice will wash away some of the nutrients sprayed on. You can rinse your rice if you WANT but is it a NEED? No, it is not. Cheers! And let's all give science a hug today!!!

[@sharonhochstetler2917]

FYI - the bouillon you are using has msg. Not everyone can have msg. Thank you for the recipe I will substitute regular chicken bouillon.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I'm glad you pointed that out Sharon. Also, just so everyone is clear: Not everyone can have rice or nightshade products - please substitute any product your body has limitations with so you don't die of MSG/rice/nightshade/fill in the blank reactions.

[@RVingTheCountry]

MSG is FLAVOUR! Foooyou!!! MSG make Uncle Rodgers very happy.
