This is how we Mexicans from California make our rice. We call it Spanish rice, not Mexican rice! I didn’t hear the term “Mexican rice” until I moved to the midwest. This is how all of my family make the rice, aunts and grandmother alike. We don’t put in peas or carrots like I have seen from other recipes. I was told by my sons girlfriend that I make it just like the restaurants. I hope that was a compliment!
TIPS: When the 15 minutes are completed, turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove lid and use spatula to turn rice from bottom to top. Rice is done and ready to eat!
