Here is a video of how I make Mexican rice for my family. I did a lot of research by reviewing many recipes online to get the ingredients that should be used in Mexican rice, and this is what I finally came up with.
Here is the list of ingredients for my Mexican rice.
3 cups of rice (I use Goya)
2 tables spoons oil ( I used olive oil)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup of water
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp powder chicken bouillon
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 8oz can tomato sauce
Step:
- Heat the oil in a medium to large size pan on medium / high heat for 1 to 3 minutes. Then add the rice to the pan and stir to coat rice with the oil.
- Begin toasting the rice for about 5 to 7 minutes or until slightly brown. Starring constantly so rice don’t burn.
- Then add in your tomato sauce and stir to coat rice. Then add in all of the seasonings, including the powder chicken bouillon, and stir to combine.
- Then add in the chicken broth and water stirring all ingredients until well mixed.
- Bring to a boil and reducing the liquid. Once the liquid is reduced, cover rice a lid and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes or until rice is soft.
Rice is ready to serve
