This is by far the best and most flavorful mexican rice I have ever eaten in Mexico or anywhere. This recipe makes me a 100% fan of Marcela Valladolid!

I just made this rice today, and it was the best Mexican rice that I have ever cooked. However, it was very time consuming about 4 hours start to finish including clean up, I also made this with the grilled steak tacos and the tomato salsa/sauce that was also made on this show. But I did make a quite a few changes to the rice to suit my tastes and pantry items on hand. First, I sauteed the onion until translucent, then added my rice to the onions and sauteed for a minute or so before I added my liquids. For the liquids I blended whole canned tomatoes with fresh cilantro, Mrs. Dash spicy chipotle, and 2 chicken bouillon cubes and enough water to make 6 cups for 3 cups of rice. I omitted the peasm carrots, bay leaf, and garlic. I would say this is a very good starting recipe to add your own flavors to.

This will be my "go to" recipe for mexican rice. I used an jalapeno pepper instead of the serrano that the recipe called for and it was delicious. It wasn't hot so next time I'll do a couple more. ( I pulled of the stem and de-seeded it before serving. Marianne Ward, Modesto, CA.

I recently made this for family and friends and it was a huge hit! So moist and the flavor was delicious. I passed this recipe on and will definitely make this again!
