Authentic Mexican Rice Recipe

[otterlyslick]

I recently made this authentic Mexican rice, and it turned out so flavorful! It's the perfect side dish for any Mexican meal. Here's how you can make it:

Ingredients:​

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 teaspoon tomato paste
• 1 3/4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Stir in the chopped onion, garlic, tomato, and tomato paste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften.
4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, then season with salt and cumin. Bring to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
6. Fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired before serving.

This Mexican rice recipe is a hit every time I make it—full of rich flavors that pair perfectly with tacos or enchiladas. Enjoy!
