Sopa de Arroz is a staple in Mexican food. As simple as the food is, it seems to be the most difficult make or perfect. Took me a while. This is simple rice to accompany lots of dishes from enchiladas to Chile rellenos, to caldo de pollo. Almost universal!

Paleo Spanish Rice with Tuna Paleo Spanish Rice with Tuna
This recipe was inspired by the one on the back of the Bumble Bee Chipotle Tuna & Olive Oil packets. I wanted to see if I could simplify it by switching out the bell pepper, onions, and tomatoes for salsa. It was a success, though it is not as fancy as theirs.*This recipe is gluten-free if you make sure that your salsa does not have glucose as a thickening agent.*This recipe is not truly paleo, since it has grain in it. Some doctors and diets may allow you to have some brown rice though, which is why I say this is paleo too. gtaylor89
