It took me awhile to master authentic Mexican rice. I have taught my grandson my recipe so now he gets the rice requests for family gatherings; he is 13.

How To Make mexican rice

  • Step 1
    In a sauce pan, preheat the vegetable oil and add the rice.
  • Step 2
    On medium heat, Stir the rice continuously until it becomes the color of toast. This step will take about 10 minutes. Have patience - this is the secret step.
  • Step 3
    Once the rice is toasted, add the onion salt and stir. Add the tomato sauce and stir.
  • Step 4
    Add the can of chicken broth and stir. Put the lid on the pan, simmer for 10 minutes. Once the lid goes on leave it alone.
  • Step 5
    After 10 minutes, add the frozen veggies - do not stir. Replace the lid and simmer for five more minutes. The frozen veggies are optional. I normally use frozen peas and carrots.
  • Step 6
    Don't stir until ready to serve.
