    Mexican Rice:
    • My Mom Teaches Me How ...
    1 Tbsp oil
    3/4 cup rice
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp onion powder
    1 pinch oregano
    1/2 tsp ground cumin
    1 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder
    1 tsp salt
    1/3 cup tomato sauce
    2 1/2 cups chicken broth (warm or at least room temp)
    Add oil and rice to your pot. Saute until it's browned a little...a few minutes. Add tomato sauce and saute maybe 1 minute. Add chicken broth and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low/medium, cover and simmer for 10 mins. DO NOT TAKE OFF THE LID. After 10 mins, remove from the heat and let sit...COVERED...for another 10-15 mins or until you're ready to use it.
    Chicken:
    (Carman Wilken-TikTok)
    2 Tbsp butter
    2 Tbsp oil
    3 chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into thin, small strips
    1 Tbsp garlic powder
    1 Tbsp onion powder
    1 Tbsp chili powder
    1 Tbsp cumin
    1 Tbsp Sazon (Goya...you can get it at Dollar Tree)
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp pepper
    Add the butter and oil to a pan. Once the butter is melted, add in your chicken. Add seasonings and let the chicken cook until it is done. If you have small pieces like I used, this will take about 5-6 mins.
    Queso Dip:
    (Carman Wilken-TikTok)
    1 can evaporated milk
    16 oz queso blanco Velveeta
    8 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded
    1 can diced green chilis
    Add evaporated milk to a pot and let it start heating. Add in the cubed up velveeta and the shredded pepper jack. Add in the chilis. Stir until the cheese is melted. Be sure you're scraping the bottom of the pan so the milk and cheese doesn't burn.

    I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious! The seasonings are on point for both the rice and the chicken. I sautéed some bell peppers, onion and jalapeño too. I used store bought cheese sauce this time but can’t wait to try your recipe. It was absolutely delicious! 😋

    Can that goya be substituted for taco seasoning? Ive never had it so i don't know the taste but i seen another video where someone used taco seasoning so i was just wondering do they have the same taste

    • @TalesFromAnEmptyNest
      @TalesFromAnEmptyNest  4 місяці тому +1

      The Goya is tomato bouillon, so it’s like the equivalent of chicken or beef bouillon…same idea, different flavor. Taco seasoning wouldn’t be the same taste, but I bet it would be great! If you try the taco seasoning, let me know how it turns out😁😁

    In our area (NE Oklahoma NW Arkansas) most of the Mexican restaurants call that a Stephen special… have no idea why but that’s what it’s called here.

    I dig the queso, what was the alternative to green chiles (I prefer more spice)
