I added some whole cumin and some chili powder. I stirred in some corn/peas/carrots (frozen) that a cooked for a minute in the microwave. Delicious and so very easy!

This is how I was taught to make rice by my Mom, its great with a big pot of Beans and some flour tortillas that's all and my family is happy add some salsa it's all good.

I love love love this recipe. I'm not one to use veggies because I'm barely learning to cook & this recipe made it soo easy for me to make as a side for my chicken. Thank you soo much, totally appreciate it! Xoxo

I vary the recipe a little and use salsa instead of tomato sauce and add leftover things and it turns out unbelievable! Great stuff!!!

Great recipe but I think it's too much salt and garlic salt...maybe cut in half? But the water and tomato sauce perfect amount.

This is a great recipe.. better then any store bought..tripled recipe.. added onion, garlic, chicken broth.. family cant stop eating it!

This recipe as great as is! No changes necessary! Thanks for sharing M. Cervera!

We used this recipe for a taco fund raiser at church today. The rice was a big hit and we only had a couple of cups left at the end! And we saw only empty plates going in the trash!! We did reduce the water back at the first batch was made and stirred a little extra tomato sauce in as needed to keep the rice from getting sticky.

We also added a tsp of Cumin to each serving and that was a good choice.

Thank you for sharing this recipe - it is definitely a "keeper".

Tried this recipe for the first time today-loved it. Thank you for sharing this recipe. -Robert

This is a great recipe, my family has been making this for years. We also use fideo noodles instead of rice and use a small can of tomato paste with 2 chicken bouillon cubes. Add some cumin and onion powder also.

Love this recipe! My Mexican rice has always been mushy until now! Thanks!

I added some corn to it. It tastes soo good. This is the easiest Mexican rice recipe I ever had!

The reviews are correct. this is a very simple and good recipe. Let the rice simmer about 20 minutes. Mine came out a too salty. I will use garlic powder next time (vs. garlic salt) and 1 tsp. salt. I believe stewed canned tomatoes may be better that tomato sauce... whats great about this recipe is it gives you the basics for great simple rice and then you can customize it with whatever you like!
