Homemade Spanish Rice / Mexican Rice

subheading: Our recipe uses only a few ingredients that we almost always have on hand. You can make this rice dish any day of the week to go with your favorite entrees or as a tasty, homemade lunch. You’ll need:

subheading: uncooked long grain rice - long grained rice works best for this recipe, it tends to get fluffier and less sticky than shorter grains:

vegetable stock or water - vegetable stock adds some extra flavor and richness, but you can use water if you don’t have any on hand

oil - canola or vegetable oil work best for this recipe, but you can use other oils if you prefer

garlic cloves - you’ll need to mince the garlic using a knife or in a garlic press

spices - you’ll need chili and cumin powder

salt - salt is used to enhance flavors, but you can skip the salt if you desire

salsa- we love using our own homemade salsa for this, but you can use any store bought salsa you like

fresh jalapeno - seeded and diced, these are added for garnishment and a bit of heat

cilantro- cilantro is an optional garnishment

subheading: We also recommend having some other ingredients that help enhance the flavors of the rice. They include:

shredded cheese

avocado

flour tortillas

sour cream or Greek yogurt

limes
