The Easiest Mexican Rice Recipe

[@Jmg888]

I’m a recent 23 yr old, and life has kinda been getting to me. Tonight I randomly decided how to make rice and this video popped up. This video was so helpful and pleasing to me by the way you explained and just by your tone of voice lol (not to sound weird) lowkey kinda teared up cuz I’m emotional like that but mostly cuz I always make things complicated and this video just made it seem all easy. Thank you and God bless you ❤️🙏

[@lillyherrera7538]

I really appreciate the fact that you always include alternatives if you don’t have specific things on hand (:

This was the BEST RICE HANDS DOWN!!! I used one bullion cube per cup of rice i made 4 cups of rice and 8 cups of water. I wish I could show you how fluffy and beautiful it is. Thank you! I made chicken enchiladas and refried beans yummy!!!

Thank you for sharing awesome rice. I'm the cook at home now since my wife was diagnosed With multiple myeloma. Good thing it's in remission and I love cooking for her.

AC Cavazos I found Knorr Tomato Boullion with NO Artificial Flavors, NO Colors from Artificial Sources, NO Artificial Preservatives, and NO Added MSG. www.amazon.com/dp/B07L41HFND/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iXnFDbD3PZTRB

[@cindydo8781]

I'm so glad to hear she's in remission. Best wishes to her and family. I know it's important that everyone including those at risk of cancer lead a healthy lifestyle. It's important to keep away from artificial ingredients including colors and a list of others that are harmful. I've discovered Knorr has Boullion that has none of these ingredients and have posted above. Take care.

@@aaimaathar1910 yes, by precooking rice to translucent it helps cut starchy flavors and adds depth - Cajun cooking does the same

[@Joseph-hz7ou]

Great video... my mother showed me how to make mexican rice... this is exactly how she showed me how to do it...except no cumin... she told me never lift the lid under any circumstance until ready to fluff and serve... perfect rice everytime... thanks for the drive through memory lane.

[@salinamartin8711]

For anyone interested, I made this in my zojirushi rice cooker and it comes out excellent. I just dump it all in. If you want it fluffy make sure to rinse rice. I also add 6 or 7 slices of pickled jalapeno, A handful of cilantro with stems whole tied together. Set on white rice setting. When done removed cilantro and fluffed and delicious. I haven't tried in a regular rice cooker that just has the on/off setting but I am sure it would work. I used a whole bouillon cube but you may want only half because it was a little over salty ( which I like). Thanks for the recipe, my husband likes this better than our favorite restaurant!

[@taylorfawkes1513]

I made this for my boyfriend tonight and he said “it takes just like the restaurant!” He loved it and it came out perfect 🥰 thank you so much!

Honestly…..best rice I have had in a long long time. Moved from Chicago to Florida and I CANNOT find Mexican rice. My husband and I made this after being disappointed over and over again…. This rice changed my life. Super easy, super tasty

[@emhooaryou698]

Just made this for the family's taco tuesday and I've gotta say, this was genuinely the tastiest and easiest side/topping I've ever made for it (using onion and garlic powder due to relatives that don't like onions/chunks). I'll be making this many, many more times. Thank you for this recipe (and also for tipping me off to Knorr-- that stuff works miracles)!

i always used to lift the lid and stir but since u had mentioned before not to lift it omg it really does make a difference. the rice comes out so fluffy. thank u

HI I have to say I tried this recipe for the first time today and it was amazing! I normally do it the longer way by blending my tomatoes, onions and spices in the blender. I didn't have fresh tomatoes on hand so I thought I'd give this a try. I am so glad I did. It was delicious TFS 🙂

Tracy Bourdon-Thomas my mom uses actual fresh ingredients as in tomatoes onion and garlic. She didn’t use any can tomatoe stuff or even the chicken bouillon. It came out better than any of these types. I wish I knew how she made it but I don’t so I stick with these types of ingredients 😒

Love, love, love this quick and easy recipe! My husband has a favorite Mexican restaurant and likes this rice better! This is my 2nd comment and this time I have decided to use long grain parboiled rice (our new favorite). I just increased the water to 2 1/4th c. Plus 20 min of cook time. I put a handful of cilantro on top and it was delicious! Thanks again! This is so versatile! I am going to alter it a little and make Savannah red rice when we have seafood! The tomato bouillon cube is a must but I was a fan of those anyway. Btw don't rinse parboiled rice! It will be fluffy even if you don't!

[@RoMaMa923]

I like to toast my rice till they are all browned, then I add a small can of tomato sauce, I add the water and some slices of onion because we don't like onion, then I add the powdered chicken bullion to my taste. I then let it boil then simmer till it ready. I noticed some rice is light like yours, some are super red and some are in between. I'm guessing it's the amount of tomato sauce or bullion people use. I like cumin but my daughter doesn't. My mom used to buy the seeds and we had to crush them in the molcajete. I've never heard of using garlic in the rice, maybe I'll try it.

I blend some garlic and onions with water and tomato paste...then add the caldo de Pollo when it starts boiling. And if ppl don't like onions who's eating. Blend that together until it's all juice and problem solved...and you want to cook that tomato water blend a few minutes to cook out the raw tomato taste
