This Simple Mexican Rice cooks up soft and fluffy, with rich tomato flavor and just the right amount of seasoning. You only need a few simple ingredients and 25 minutes on the stove (hands off, no peeking) for a side that pairs beautifully with tacos, enchiladas or even simple grilled chicken.
No need to fuss over a pot for perfect rice, especially when most of the work takes care of itself. Just a few simple steps and you can move on with your day (I love any recipe that doesn’t tie me to the stove).
I keep coming back to this Mexican rice because the process is simple, the flavor shines through every day, and the texture hits that sweet spot between fluffy and moist (just measure your liquids right, then let it do its thing without lifting the lid). With a splash of lime, this rice pairs easily with just about anything, and it even holds up for days in the fridge, ready to scoop out whenever the craving hits.
