My mom served rice growing up with everything!! Perfect side dish for any Mexican meal.

Great on its own or with sides like beans, fried plantains, tortillas and salsa.

love Mexican rice, I'm white so it took me forever to get it right, but I've got it now! lol

comfort food (;

This is one recipe that is in constant use in my household. It is often one of the first dishes to disappear at our get-togethers. It is a simple recipe and is easily modifiable. It is lightly flavored with tomato, but has plenty of other spices going on. I prefer basmati rice because of the texture and fragrance, but use whatever rice you happen to have on hand. It'll be a sure success!

I wanted to re-create the green colored rice served at Mexican restaurants. I made it with coriander and jalapeno pepper. I used a reduced-salt chicken stock, so if you are using regular chicken stock, taste it before you start cooking the rice with it and adjust the salt. This is a lightly flavored rice, so it goes well with curry too.Instead of cooking the rice in a pan, you can put it in a rice cooker at Step 3 and cook it in there instead. Long grain rice like Indica or Thai rice are suitable for this recipe, but if you don't have any you can just use regular (Japanese type) rice. If you don't like spicy food, the rice tastes great with bell pepper instead of jalapeno pepper. Serve with lemon on the side for a refreshing flavor. Recipe by yukoz1

For a larger helping, serving more than 3-4 people, double the ingredients.Example: 2 cups rice, 4 cups water, 1 onion, 1 can tomato sauce (8oz can), 2 spoonfuls of spices and bullion (or 2 bullion cubes instead of 1), 1 whole lime.
