Super easy to make Spanish Rice

"Very good and simple mexican rice recipe. The tomato sauce is a little heavy, but not overwhelming, next time I may tone it down a hair. It was definitly a simple, quick, and easy recipe to make for a nice mexican meal! I served it with some black beans, and some leftover tequilla lime grilled chicken, a recipe that I also found from this site!" - ChefHoss

Cut the recipe in half an it came out amazing. I've attempted Spanish rice before and always failed miserably. I added cumin, garlic, salt, pepper and a little cayenne before simmering.

I am the worst cook ever and my mexican american husband introduced me to this. Thank you so much! Now I have something to cook other than baked chicken and pintos! This is soooo good and my 4 kids enjoy it as well.

Super easy, and it tastes amazing!! Side note: the total yield is good for parties or very large families. It was WAY too much for the four of us.

I might also add that it did sound a bit bland to me so the first time I tried it I added Rotel tomato sauce that i bought by accident instead of the plain. It gives it a bit of spice, but it's quite mellow.

The recipe is good. The spanish ladies I work with loved it, but i think it would be better with some carrots and peas. Only because thats how im use to having it.

Perfect for beginner. My husbands family is Hispanic and they make rice almost daily. They loved mine. Now, I make the rice for family dinners.

This is very tasty. My husband And I loved it. I added some salt and used rotel instead of tomato sauce for an extra little bit of a kick.
