Mexican Rice Recipe
Between my wife, here sisters, sisters in law, and mother, they each have their own slightly different way of making rice, so there's definitely no single recipe for Mexican style rice. This is the way my wife makes it. Whenever there's a pot luck dinner, she usually gets requests to take a pot of this rice.
Mexican Rice
