MEXICAN RICE III



Mexican Rice III image

This is an excellent authentic Mexican rice recipe (not to be confused with Spanish rice) that I make as a side dish with all of my Mexican dishes. The key is cooking the rice properly and using good quality chicken broth or stock.

MY CHEATER MEXICAN RICE



My Cheater Mexican Rice image

I love the mexican rice at the restaurants but don't always have the time to go through all the steps of making "the real deal". So a girlfriend and I experimented with this one night and we thought it turned out pretty good! Now it is my fall back recipe when I am in a hurry! You can find the bouillon in the ethnic part of the grocery store. I buy the Maggi brand Caldo Sabor a Pollo y Tomate. You can adjust the bouillion to make it stronger or weaker....

Categories     Mexican

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups long grain rice, uncooked
2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
3 1/4 cups chicken broth (or water)
2 tablespoons tomato bouillon with chicken flavor
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice in lukewarm water for 1-2 minutes.
  • In a large frying pan, melt the butter/margarine and then add the rice.
  • Fry the rice until it turns white and starts to brown -- kinda like making rice a roni.
  • Add the broth/water, bouillon and green chiles.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and cook for 20-30 minutes until all moisture is absorbed and rice is done.
  • Can be garnished with shredded cheddar and or sliced green onion.

ARROZ MEXICANA (MEXICAN RICE)



Arroz Mexicana (Mexican Rice) image

This is a really good Mexican rice recipe. I thought my kids would never want anything but the "Spanish Rice" that comes in a box, but as they grew their tastes matured too, thank goodness! I like to use fresh raw peas and corn kernels when possible. Try this, I think you'll like it! UPDATE: Thanks to my Zaar friends Rita and Paula, I've edited my mistake in the amount of broth originally posted to 3 1/2 cups.
