Spanish Rice
Rice has been a staple ingredient in Mexico for centuries, as it can be grown practically anywhere, even on steep hillsides. Spanish rice is often served alongside many traditional Mexican dishes.
The "Tex-Mex" style of Spanish rice incorporates chunks of grilled or sauteed vegetables.
Our Spanish rice recipe is a quick and easy way to bring the flavor of Mexico to your table!
