    That's my favorite rice because of the bold pepper flavor. I like to add sliced black olives and a big spoon of sour cream on a tortilla with refried beans and some cheese. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

    An option is to put the coriander and cumin powder into the toasting rice with the diced onion instead of putting them in the tomato sauce. It changes the flavor of the cumin and coriander making them more complex and a little stronger.

    • @hana.the.writer5074
      @hana.the.writer5074 Рік тому +1

      Sounds interesting but wouldn’t they over brown and turn bitter? As I think the seasoning ingredients are already roasted my friend.

I grew up in the California Central valley and use to take butter pattys with me on my bike on the way to school because there was a tortilla factory along the way and they always let me pull fresh ones off the line for free as a snack on the way to school... mmmm good-fresh tortilla hot off the press with butter!

    First and foremost, thank you for calling it what it is, "MEXICAN RICE" and for giving credit where credit is due!

    This is a good recipe. If you don't have achiote, use paprika. I also reduced the quantity of chicken broth to 3 C for a slightly firmer rice, to avoid clagginess.

    I made this last night with several modifications, mostly due to which ingredients I had on-hand. I used half a green bell pepper instead of a red one, and two large jalapenos instead of one serrano since that was what I had. Instead of fresh garlic, I used pre-minced garlic in a jar. For chicken broth/stock I used Knorr chicken bouillon powder dissolved in warm water. Since I didn't have any achiote (annato), I substituted Goya Sazon "con azafran" (with Saffron) seasoning. I kept the cumin, coriander and other measurements the same though.
    It did have an unusual flavor that I wasn't able to identify, possibly due to the extra coriander and cumin in the sazon or the addition of the turmeric and Mexican saffron which are also included in the sazon seasoning, although I only used one packet of sazon.
    This made A LOT of Mexican rice! I didn't notice until after I realized I had a full pan of rice that this recipe makes 12 servings. I'll be enjoying this rice for a week.

      😅 Had I gotten here earlier I would have reminded you to freeze meals in separate containers since cooked food can only stay good for consumption within 4 days MAX. Any longer and bacteria will start to overgrow and ruin any quality of flavor you had besides adding their own 😷.
      It looked like you wanted to make it so bad your mind got occupied juggling substitutes otherwise you would have noticed it was two cups unooked rice ✌🏻😬😬.
      I feel like you will gag now by the mention of rice and won’t be making this recipe until you had kids. 😂
