HOW TO MAKE PERFECT MEXICAN RICE EVERY TIME: Easy Recipe and Tips for Cooking Delicious Mexican Rice

For years, I struggled to make good Mexican Rice. It was dry or mushy, and always inconsistent...until I learned HOW TO MAKE PERFECT RICE EVERY TIME. In this video, I share my easy recipe, as well as some tips for cooking delicious Mexican Rice. Some of you may call it Spanish Rice. What's funny is, when I was growing up, we just called this, "rice." At any rate, read on for the recipe.
Mexican Rice
1 cup long grain rice
2 cups hot water
2 tsp. chicken bouillon
1/4 of an onion, chopped small
1/2 an 8oz. can of tomato sauce
1 tsp. cumin
salt to taste
*You can also add peas, carrots, and corn to Mexican rice, if you choose.
Place skillet on stove over medium high heat and coat the bottom of the pan with oil. Add in rice and brown, stirring continuously to ensure it doesn't burn. As rice begins to turn a light golden color, add in chopped onion and continue stirring until onion is soft and rice is golden. Next, add in the tomato sauce, the salt, the cumin, the hot water, and the chicken bouillon and mix well. (This is the last time you will stir.) When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover pan with lid, and let cook untouched for 15 minutes. (Do not remove the lid during this time.) After 15 minutes, remove from stove, but leave lid on, and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then remove lid and fluff rice with a fork. It should be cooked to perfection.

    I never liked Spanish rice until my mother-in-law made it. She added a green bell pepper with the onion and I was hooked. She's been gone quite a few years but every time I make my rice I think of her.

    Almost exactly how Mi Ama use to make our arroz. The only difference is Ama would wet the rice and drain it prior to browning to release the starch for a much fluffier rice in the end....

    I am so proud of myself! This is how I do, except for the bouillion. If my husband sees me cooking rice, he doesn't want to see the tomato sauce. I use it, then hide can. And also the cumin. He swears he hates both, however when I make it, he tells me, "See this is better without the tomato or cumin. He justs wants salt and pepper. I say this today and I am going now to look up some more recipes. I hope they are Mexican.

    Hey Marci! New subscriber to your channel. Im really liking your recipes and your personality is great! Upbeat and kind without seeming phoney. I see you use bouillon in your recipes (i saw you use tomato bouillon in a different recipe which i didn't even know they made!) but one thing ive switched to it the "better than bouillon" or similar brands, that come almost as a paste in a jar you keep refrigerated. I really like it!

    Hi Marci. Next time, try subbing a 7 oz. can of Salsa Casera for the tomato sauce. I think you'll like it.

    Im really glad i stumbled onto your channel! Your rice looks delicious! I've been cooking since I've been able to reach the stove and one thing ive learned over the years it's some of the "simplest" foods that are the hardest to properly master. Hard boiled eggs and rice have always been sort of hit or miss. Your recipe with the boiling water goes against what i was taught about starches like rice and potatoes--to always start with cold water. Im going to give your recipe a try along with the refried beans. I also saw your homemade tortilla recipe and if you don't need a tortilla press I'm definitely going to give that a try. I've always loved my friends and family members Mexican rice, and my fiancée does too.

    Hello Marcy👋 today is Sunday and I'm wishing you a blessed day. 🙏We also just called it rice because my mom never made any other kind.As a kid I use to mix it with my beans on my plate.😋 Which my family thought was weird.I don't do that anymore though.😄

    I make it like this too. I started using caldo de tomate instead of the tomato sauce because it works too and I don't have to store half a can of sauce. I spent years trying to imitate a local restaurant I frequent a lot. I think I'm there now (and I keep my eyes open), but I have to say that the ambiance of my restaurant brings a lot to the party.

    Hello Marcy, One simple question for you, when doubling this recipe, do you double your liquid ingredients to four cups water and one entire 14.5 oz can of tomato sauce? Or do you use the ratio that most rice recipes will require, using only a 50% increase of liquids for double the amount of rice. eg...most every long grain rice package has the instructions that state...one cup rice requires two cups water, two cups rice requires three cups water. Just wanted to find out what has worked best for you. Thank you so much for making these videos Marcy, it truly is a blessing that because of you're trial and error in the kitchen, we are able to get it right the first time, as long as we follow your instructions.🤗

    I have been watching my carb intake lately and like to bring the taste of mexican rice to califlower rice, I think i can mix the cumin with tomato sauce and onion, This recipe looks delish!
