We make Mexican Rice all the time. It's super easy to make and a favorite with all our favorite Mexican food recipes from Enchiladas to Tacos.

Our friend Marcy is always making Authentic Mexican food recipes her Mother passed down to her.

So one night I asked her the secret to Mexican Style Mexican Rice and she said,"Knorr Caldo De Tomate" or Knorr Tomato Bouillon with Chicken. I usually find it at the grocery store in the Mexican Food Section and included a photo down below of what the package looks like, just incase you're a visual person like me.

A few of our favorite recipes to make with Restaurant Style Mexican Rice are: 

• Barbacoa Beef
• Shredded Beef Enchiladas
• Chicken Enchiladas
• Oven Baked Steak Burritos
• Homemade Flour Tortillas

And if I'm feeding a crowd I love to make Cilantro Lime Rice too!

Here's how to make Mexican Rice:

In a large sauté pan with a lid add:

• 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil like Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
• 1/2 whole Large Onion Diced Fine
• 3 cloves Minced Garlic

Sauté until onion starts to soften.

Add 1 cube Tomato Bouillon with Chicken and break up.

Add:

• 1 1/3 cup Jasmine Rice or Long Grain Rice
• 1 rib Celery Diced Fine
• 2 whole Carrots Diced Fine 
• 1/4 whole Red Pepper Diced Fine
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Sauté until rice becomes translucent. About 3 minutes.

Add 2 1/4 cup Water bring to a simmer. Turn heat to low and cover.

Cook for 15-20 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed.

Fluff Mexican Rice with a fork.

If you have cilantro feel free to sprinkle some over the top of the Mexican Rice. If not that's cool too!
