An option is to put the coriander and cumin powder into the toasting rice with the diced onion instead of putting them in the tomato sauce. It changes the flavor of the cumin and coriander making them more complex and a little stronger.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

Sounds interesting but wouldn’t they over brown and turn bitter? As I think the seasoning ingredients are already roasted my friend.

[@ana-7421]

You are correct! I’m Indian and we always cook our seasonings in a little oil to develop the flavor.

[@loncho5079]

First and foremost, thank you for calling it what it is, "MEXICAN RICE" and for giving credit where credit is due! Any true Mexican or Spaniard will agree, what you cooked is definitely not "Spanish" rice/Paella. You made authentic Mexican rice and it looked delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@linebrunelle1004]

lmao. it's AFRICAN rice dish

[@jessicag7568]

This is not authentic. What are you talking about?

[@klai655]

Yum! I love to eat mine as a taco also with a spread of refried beans at the bottom..the memories❤

[@xxkissmeketutxx]

I made this for dinner and cannot overstate how DELICIOUS it is! I had to use paprika, it's amazing! My children thank you for sharing with us here in Australia 🙏🏼 ❤️

[@TurnerTurnip]

Was it smoked paprika? Smoked paprika goes great with Mexican rice.

[@xxkissmeketutxx]

@@TurnerTurnip actually i just used sweet paprika as i couldn't get used to the taste of smoked. But use any type that you know you like 👍

[@NicodeHaan65]

Made this traditional Mexican Rice today. Together with your Chorizo recipe (peppers were not easy to find here in the Netherlands but in the end I did) .... wow!... no... wow wow WOW! Super tasty food.

[@librarianlovesrick]

So hungry for this rice now! Imagine this sitting next to beans and enchiladas. Hungry!

[@VillaCocina]

Yummy!

[@AlisonLam]

Just made this right now. It's delicious!! I had some roasted bell peppers so i used more of that any less tomato. Turned out amazing!!!!!

[@AnthonyLopez-cc9nf]

I stumbled on this video a while back. I now make this all the time for my family. Best rice recipe out there!

[@surfhawaiiwaves]

This is soooo much better than the restaurant Mexican rice, so flavorful, whole family loved it. this recipe is for keeps! thank you!

[@jeanineruby]

I just add a couple tablespoons of my fav salsa to the toasted rice and broth. Perfect Spanish rice every time!

[@user-fm9ek7sr8g]

My very picky mother loved this recipe. It was a huge success! Thank you.

[@Terenia531]

I’ve always wondered how Mexican rice was made. I’ll be making this. Thank you!

[@VillaCocina]

Go for it! Enjoy!

[@johnhipp604]

​@@VillaCocinaroseanna can I ask you something Its a yes or no

[@lesleydavis3637]

Love this recipe for Spanish rice! I will definitely make this one..😊

The prettiest lady on KZbin sharing a great recipe!

[@VillaCocina]

Thanks for the compliment 😊

[@beardzebub6341]

I'll have to try this. Your old recipe is now my go to. I've made it a half dozen times now.

[@mr1pearl]

This is the recipe that brought me to your channel ! It is my favorite style of rice yum !!!

[@waynethomason6388]

I made this last night with several modifications, mostly due to which ingredients I had on-hand. I used half a green bell pepper instead of a red one, and two large jalapenos instead of one serrano since that was what I had. Instead of fresh garlic, I used pre-minced garlic in a jar. For chicken broth/stock I used Knorr chicken bouillon powder dissolved in warm water. Since I didn't have any achiote (annato), I substituted Goya Sazon "con azafran" (with Saffron) seasoning. I kept the cumin, coriander and other measurements the same though. It did have an unusual flavor that I wasn't able to identify, possibly due to the extra coriander and cumin in the sazon or the addition of the turmeric and Mexican saffron which are also included in the sazon seasoning, although I only used one packet of sazon. This made A LOT of Mexican rice! I didn't notice until after I realized I had a full pan of rice that this recipe makes 12 servings. I'll be enjoying this rice for a week.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

😅 Had I gotten here earlier I would have reminded you to freeze meals in separate containers since cooked food can only stay good for consumption within 4 days MAX. Any longer and bacteria will start to overgrow and ruin any quality of flavor you had besides adding their own 😷. It looked like you wanted to make it so bad your mind got occupied juggling substitutes otherwise you would have noticed it was two cups unooked rice ✌🏻😬😬. I feel like you will gag now by the mention of rice and won’t be making this recipe until you had kids. 😂

[@burlingwillow7140]

@@hana.the.writer5074 Can I freeze rice ? I’ve never tried too and believe me I’ve made rice dishes that we ate for days and didn’t want to see it for a long time lol thanks

[@brianazmy3156]

That's my favorite rice because of the bold pepper flavor. I like to add sliced black olives and a big spoon of sour cream on a tortilla with refried beans and some cheese. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@garybeshears5632]

Your hair looks so cute Rice looks delicious 🤤 from Barbara

[@VillaCocina]

Thanks so much!

[@ExaltedWarrior]

I like that you used achiote and didn't use bullion. I'll be making this for my son's 1st birthday party tomorrow.

[@VillaCocina]

Trying to keep it natural

[@theathjr]

The steps of fluffing the rice CAN NOT BE SKIPPED. it is extremely essential for perfect rice. ❤️

[@Mykle1AZ]

Made this for dinner tonight along with your chicken fajitas recipe. It turned out great ... I just wish I had made more so there were lots of leftovers ! Thank you so much for all of these delicious recipes !

[@VillaCocina]

That sounds like a super delicious combination! Congratulations!

[@johnblagrove5177]

I AM impressed so i'll most DEFINITELY BE TRYING TO MAKE IT. THANKS FOR SHARING.😊❤🇯🇲

[@chrishintz1077]

Nothing beats the rice at the la salsa chain. The French chef Julian Child used to say first stop in Los Angeles for her was La Salsa.

[@stokestack]

This is a good recipe. If you don't have achiote, use paprika. I also reduced the quantity of chicken broth to 3 C for a slightly firmer rice, to avoid clagginess.

[@comiketiger]

This looked awesome. What a great idea to had the pepper by just slitting it for a more subtle taste!! That's genius !😎😎😎 God bless all here.

[@gloriamarquez7999]

Ty for Sharing this recipe...Looks delish!!!😊delightful!!! ENJOY...

[@1russodog]

My work is having a Mexican rice cook-off. Armed with your excellent recipe, the winner is a no contest. Ty

Good luck with your health, Rossana! I have been dealing with diabetes for a long time myself.

[@VillaCocina]

Thanks so much for the kind wishes. I’m doing great. Sending you my best wishes as well. 😊

[@kantemirovskaya1lightninga30]

rewatching this one lol. I missed that Nelson at rice in tortillas... I grew up in the California Central valley and use to take butter pattys with me on my bike on the way to school because there was a tortilla factory along the way and they always let me pull fresh ones off the line for free as a snack on the way to school... mmmm good-fresh tortilla hot off the press with butter!

[@VillaCocina]

Interesting!

[@yg713]

Thank you for your very clear instructions and delicious recipe. No one sells achiote in my area so I put in some chipotle spices instead. May I suggest that when you do a recipe you include how many servings or something of the sort?

[@treetoptreetop2730]

Love me some Mexican rice, Cooking this for dinner tomorrow.

[@VillaCocina]

Enjoy! 😊

[@philochristos]

That looks pretty good.

[@sandilobianco6734]

[@chrisdaniel1339]

It looks delicious. What about using a single jalapeno in the blender for a little heat and flavor? I did not know Staub made pans with glass lids like that, that is pretty sweet. I have a Staub Sapphire Blue 7 Qt Cocotte (Dutch Oven) and I love it.

[@naidaquiros2670]

FYI that Staub pan inside is coated with black ceramic so you don’t have to worry about scratching it. It’s just like the white enamel coated in Le Cruiset pans.

I made this and it was good but it did not taste great. I definitely did something wrong. The recipe is great I did not add enough spices. I added salt but did not want to run the risk of over salting. I will def try again. ❤

2 cups of stock plus the juice of those tomatoes will make your rice mushy. I used 3.5 cups of liquid per 2 cups of rice and my rice came out mushy

[@VillaCocina]

Love that!

[@mishalzeera8172]

I know its not traditional, but I love to cook the rice about 2/3 the way more or less the same as you made it, but the last 1/3rd transfer everything into a sealed pot to steam cook. A bit of butter on the bottom of the pan to stop it sticking, then you end up with a slightly crispy, chewy crust on the bottom that is maddeningly good. Basically the Persian way of making rice, but with that incredible Mexican tomato recipe instead.

[@youtubeadmin1451]

I like the stuff from the box that you get at the grocery store... It's more authentic.
