Loaded Mexican Rice
"Loaded Mexican rice is like nachos without the chips or a burrito without the tortilla - the rice is great all on it's own as a side or make it a meal and garnish it up like I did with whatever odds and ends you have available. I used chicken, but it would also be great with shrimp, steak, or ground beef...."
