mexican rice
(1 RATING)
I got this recipe when I watched my Mother in law make it. I apologize for the measurements, since she did not use any, and this is an approximation based on my experience. My husband says I got it right, so enjoy. MUCH better then the rice you will get at a mexican restaurant!
