Hello everyone! Here's the link for the Papas Rellenas video I mentioned in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJCXYYyDgK2Kf8k If you are here early before the premiere, let's chat! 😊

[@luvincoco1561]

@Simply Mama Cooks I’m new here! Beyond happy I found you 😊 Made your Tex Mex enchiladas.. They were amazing! Thank you 🙏 You explained everything with such a warm heart. Was wondering if you could tell me what kind of rice is best? Sending beautiful blessings to you and your family 💖

[@lori9021]

I have electric burners I hate them it's so hard making Spanish rice my mother-in-law taught me but since I've lived were I don't have gas it's tricky any suggestions on the temperature

[@herintegrity1453]

Hi, did you rinse your rice before cooked it?

[@margaritavondorkovich6763]

I thought I was the only one using V8 juice in my Mexican rice. Started using V8 about 10 to 15 years ago. I am now 77 years old. Love your easy style and honesty in sharing your home cooking!!!👏👌

[@go.gators]

I'm only 63 years old but I agree 💯

[@CWood-bn4kr]

I love you channel your voice is so relaxing and you are always so good at explaining your recipes. I’m also loving the cooking for two videos! Thanks Mamma❤

[@tishb62]

I never thought I’d be cooking Mexican Rice with V-8 juice. Grandma Barela would be laughing at me and calling me Crazy! I sure miss that Silly old Grandma. No one Cooked food like her. Grandma B was from Las Cruces New Mexico and boy could that little Old Mexican Grandma could cook. My Favs where her Chilaquiles. Grandma made them with cut up white corn tortillas lightly fried in the oil and slathered with Red, or Green New Mexico Chilis. Hatch to be exact. She would fry and egg on top of the cotija cheese and Crema sauce. Okay..now I’m drooling! Love all your recipes. Thank you for sharing your Gift with us🙏🏼❤️

[@jessicaj8148]

My dad is from Dominican Republic and my mom Puerto Rican. Fried eggs with rice and beans and a side salad was a staple dinner. Add in some platanos and that was gold!!

[@treau3131]

Just wanted to thank you for this recipe. I made my own adjustments but the end result was amazing. My wife said it was the best Mexican rice she has ever had. That says something when she is very picky. I was almost in tears. I used a powder version of the bouillon cubes as the store didn't have the actual cubes. I used two tbsp's haha. I also used red onions and jalapeno chopped. In the end it just came out wonderful. Thank you so much for making my wife's day.

[@sarahmates4216]

Your family is very lucky to have you in the kitchen!

[@CheezNrice4u]

Truly blessed.

[@kimberlynw1799]

I love watch you cook so much. You are so down to earth and likeable. I love your honesty

[@foxysil52]

My father was from Zacatecas, Mexico..And my mom made really tasty rice her and grandmas way..they were great cooks. My father put sliced banana on his rice..I used to frown upon it, until I tried it..I loved the taste! I miss my parents, and this added taste brought me wonderful childhood memories. Maybe it's the way people from Mexico add their touch. Lol

[@belemvargas617]

My dad used to eat rice like that as well 😊 now I do the same. So good 👍

[@HBSHARK]

I gotta try that!😀

[@klausrostock4163]

In Jalisco , we put sliced bananas in our caldo de Res (also in Argentina)

[@CheezNrice4u]

What kind of banana y’all?

[@Mars_60]

Thank you so much for not banging your utensil on the pan making loud noise for the listener especially when wearing ear pods! Your rice looks delish! Simple and easy!

[@sarahcarrizales9759]

Wow, I would never think to use V8 in the rice, but it looks good! My favorite way to eat Mexican rice is the way my husband's Grandma makes it. She blends all the tomato, garlic, and consomate in the molcajete, and puts pieces of onion in it while it cooks. She always fries it in lard instead of oil too. It's a lot work blending the tomato with the molcajete but it's super flavorful that way, and then it has tiny chunks of tomato and whole pieces of onion in it. So good.

[@Vintagecomfort]

This rice with a fried egg on top…yea, Bay-bay! TY for making wonderful, authentic, homemade food so easy for us to make.

[@chromedome4643]

mexican rice is my favorite rice

[@ZephraE0523]

I love that I found you. I'm only learning the Mexican cooking since my new husband is Mexican and many times I'm lost. I followed your recipe for Chicken Mole {one of his favorite dishes when we go out} and the Mexican red rice last night for our Christmas eve dinner and he raved on how good it was - never tasted better. Thank you :)

[@ivycami3800]

Yes fried egg with rice. Love it

[@TheKathybarth]

Rice and salad - I am happy! Thank you for the V8 idea.

[@StephanieGutierrez-sf3iu]

This was amazing! Ill make my rice like this from now on. Thank you for the recipe

[@lisamarshall9194]

I had left over pintos and taco meat from when we had taco salad so I decided to make burritos for supper tonight. I made the pintos refried and I've always wanted to know how to make Spanish rice. Especially with V-8. I had a can of hot and spicy v-8. I decided I was gonna attempt this. I didn't have any onions so I used bell pepper and fresh jalapeños. Omg. This is the best rice. And it came out perfect. Literally. Like I eat with my eyes as they say. The rice was fluffy and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[@lauriehuber3040]

What to serve with Mexican rice? EVERYTHING and ANYTHING! 😂😂 My favorite is just refried beans and the rice all by itself. Such great flavor. Watching your videos always makes me hungry! 🥰

[@SharonBlessedGrama]

Looks yummy! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻❤️🌹

[@vickie9391]

I love a bowl of the Mexican rice with a sprinkle of colby cheese and drizzle with Tex-Mex enchilada sauce. Omg it reminds me of when I was younger and my parents had a restaurant.... let me stop bcuz it makes me emotional. 😌 😄 But your Tex-mex enchilada sauce is very similar to my moms. Once I can get back into the kitchen the first thing im making is enchiladas with your recipe. 😋 😊

[@simply_denise]

Love it! I'm with you on just eating the rice. I also like to add the menudo mix. Oh yummy 😋

[@gldnleopard]

This is my absolute go to Mexican rice recipe! It turns out perfect every time!

[@klausrostock4163]

Im definitely going to try this , if it’s Simply Mamá Cook approved , it’s definitely good

[@ludokerfluffle6232]

Mi abuela taught me to toast the rice. Now I do it no mater what rice I make. Also I rinse the rice 3x because I learned it from an East Asian woman.

[@janicepedroli7403]

I made the rice this afternoon. Its perfect. The secret really is. DON'T LIFT THE LID. Thanks.

[@lillie9117]

[@Dasburyfamily]

Wow, your recipe is awesome! It’s similar to my mom, grandmothers and aunties. You are so right, there are so many versions to enjoy. My hubby is one of those that lifts the lid before the rice is done. Thank you for posting your recipe.

[@kathleenelliot5305]

Just made this to go with chili frito pie. Soooooo gooood! Gracias Mama! Mui bueno.

[@moni925]

Glad you put the ingredients already, so anyone can make this with you.😉🥰

[@kerrydevrient4885]

OK, I have not created this recipe yet, though here is our problem. We love Mexican rice....GREAT Mexican rice!!! Since moving to Illinois from the west coast, well, food in general has become bland. We recently visited a restaurant in Lafayette, IN with the most amazing food!!! The single item that amazed us most, was the Mexican Rice...not bland!!! It had flavor...seriously flavor!!!!! We are now in love with Mexican rice! I can't wait to try your's.

[@daysigasca1995]

This is hands down the best recipe for Mexican rice.

[@Goldboy1975]

I instantly fell in love with you when you mentioned eating Mexican rice with a fried egg on top and hot sauce. Hahahaha. My top comfort food for sure. For extra decadence I fry homemade bacon and chorizo sausage and sauté the rice in that oil, daaaaaaamn. Add the bacon and chorizo back in when you add the liquids, maybe a bit of sweetcorn for a (sort of) vegetable. Don’t bother forking it, it’s gone in five minutes at my house. Hahaha. Great video.

[@elainevankat5353]

Totally agree! Fried egg on Mexican rice😋...love it!

[@Pez2176]

Your rice recipe sounds really good too!

[@ke4592]

[@Grandmasterrett]

The face you make when you hold the fork loaded with delicious looking food up to the camera is SO cute! You look so proud of your wonderful creation!

[@oeff7744]

Amen if you got it, use it! I'm going to try it with free can of Campbell's tomato soup. The spicy V8 is super versatile to use Mexican cooking.

[@xomichaelanthonygarciaxo]

I love adding a jalapeño to my rice

[@chevypreps6417]

I have made this recipe several times and it is delicious. For Mexican rice it really does not get any better than this. I like using V8 juice in chili, stews etc and I like just drinking a cold glass of V8.

[@parkspot22]

Looks so good! i will try the V8,

[@ljm9092]

I am making Enchiladas and red rice for the 4th of July! thank you for your recipe and i can Hardly wait for Thursday. will be coming back for more recipes! Happy 4th!😊🌻🌻

[@ashleyadams6803]

When I make this rice I sauté the onion first in butter then add the rice till it’s golden, instead of V8 I use Clamato juice. Just wanted to share, it’s so good! Enjoyed your video!

[@cathyfield4765]

I have used v 8 to cook rice and like it that way. Your suggestion it serve it with an egg is making my mouth water. This will be on the menu soon. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@jenjoy3215]

Ever since you did a stew recipe using V8 I’ve done the same even if not with a Mexican recipe. Tomatoes and their juice work so well with soups chilis and stews. Wish I knew that years ago. Guess what I had for early dinner. Thx.
