Quick Mexican Rice

Quick Mexican Rice

Ingredients
 

  • 1 1/2 cup dry brown rice
  • 1 pk taco seasoning mix (or your favorite blend of seasoning)
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies
 
 Advertisements
Preparation
 



For rice, place rice and 3c water in saucepan. Bring to a boil;
reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 mins. Use a toothpick in the lid of
the pan if you have trouble with it boiling over. After 45 mins,
remove from heat, and let rest 15 mins (perfect rice every time!).
Rice can be made anytime in advance. If leftoever is used, this
recipe is almost instant.


To rice, add taco seasoning, tomato sauce and Rotel tomatoes.
Stir and heat through.


I serve this with Fantastic Foods instant refries, instant black
beans, tomatoes, lettuce, and corn tortillas for a quick meal.
