Mexican rice or arroz rojo, is a Mexican rice dish which is so tasty that you can have it as anytime meal. It is very easy to prepare and excellent dish for lunch box. This rice dish is made from white rice, tomatoes, garlic, onions, red kidney beans and some vegetables.It is traditionally made by sauteing the rice in a skillet with oil or fat until it is colored golden brown. Water or chicken broth is then added, along with tomatoes in the form of chopped or pureed.

I made my version of Mexican rice with pureed tomatoes, boiled red kidney beans and vegetables like capsicum, green peas, sweet corn, carrot along with my favourite tangy fruit pineapple. It came out really delightful with slight sweet and tangy flavour.
