baked mexican style rice
I have a bad habit of burning my rice on the stove, so found a recipe for baking it, but it was plain white rice, so found a recipe for Mexican rice and married the two....I love the fluffy texture. You can leave out the jalapeno, or use a milder or warmer pepper per your tastes. I've also used the basic baked white rice recipe and added cilantro and lime zest and juice for cilantro lime rice, it came out very good.
