Love the taste, but at 15 minutes, the rice was seared to the bottom of my pan!
Absolutely the best Mexican rice I’ve ever made. Rivals any authentic restaurant. Turns out perfect every time.

Cant really go wrong with any of these sides! There all so delicious and your family will love them.
My girls sold your red and green salsa to raise money for girls’ camp. Everyone loved the recipes, particularly the sweet salsa verde.
I think I have made almost everything on this list!! None of them disappoint!! I make your Spanish rice a few times a month & have people asking me for the recipe all the time!!
