This is the EASIEST recipe ever and it tastes so good!<\/p>\n<h2>Mexican Rice Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n<p>This Mexican rice is slightly on the dry side, like in restaurants which is exactly how I like it. It doesn\u2019t turn out wet, clumpy and sticky like some homemade Mexican rice recipes can be. The secret is all in the way that you cook it. \u00a0Mexican rice needs to be fried in oil and browned BEFORE you add the chicken broth and tomato sauce. \u00a0As a result, the rice really absorbs the flavors yet has the perfect consistency. \u00a0My other tip is to mix in\u00a0the chopped cilantro after cooking. \u00a0If you add it before, the cilantro gets brown in color and wilted. \u00a0When you toss it in after, it stays green and fresh looking.<\/p>\n<h2>Authentic and Easy Mexican Rice Reviews<\/h2>\n<p>My husband is very picky about his Mexican rice. \u00a0He had a family friend growing up that made the most amazing and authentic Mexican food. \u00a0I could see he was skeptical that this rice would not be as good as his friend\u2019s Mexican rice, but to his pleasant surprise this was just as good if not better! \u00a0This is his new favorite way to make it. \u00a0We have made it several times since.<\/p>\n<p>We have had so many rave reviews from people who have made and loved this rice recipe. You can read them all in the comments below. This is one of my favorites from a fan named Patty, \u201cI am a Puerto Rican woman married to a hard core Mexican man. I\u2019ve tried just about every recipe available for this rice and it never quite worked. I made this today and IT\u2019S PERFECT!! \u00a0This is the way my MIL makes it. It is as authentic as it can get! \u00a0Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the recipe I will make my family from now on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I mean, you can\u2019t get a much higher compliment than that!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Next Page Arrow Button For The Full Recipe<\/span> and don\u2019t forget to SHARE with your Facebook friends.
