Mexican Rice

This Mexican Rice is simple to prepare and full of zesty flavors!

I think it’s obvious by now that I’m crazy for Mexican food. Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and everything in between, I love them all. I’ve even created some delicious Mexican dishes, like this taco macaroni and cheese and this taco bake because I just can’t get enough of the flavors. So with Cinco de Mayo coming up, it’s only natural that I share my love for this cuisine again.

The hubster and I love going out for Mexican food, but we also loving staying in a creating our own meal. And we like to start out our dinner with Delimex Taquitos. It’s the perfect appetizer that is crunchy, full of hearty flavors, and ready in minutes. It’s also a delicious addition for the Cinco de Mayo feast that I’m planning on making for the hubster and I.

So when I was shopping at Walmart last week, I was on the hunt for Delimex Taquitos and something else to round up my meal. After grabbing a few boxes of the taquitos, I stumbled upon the Delmex Tacos.

Stuffed with chicken and cheese, I knew these were a winner. And with all of the varieties that Delimex offers, I knew I would be back at Walmart soon to try out the other varieties. And after I browsed around the store for a bit, I came up with the perfect dish to pair with the taquitos.

When I made it home, I couldn’t wait to test out this Mexican Rice. It’s easy, full of Mexican flavor, and the perfect side dish to whip up for a Cinco de Mayo (or any day) celebration. Filled with fresh salsa, black beans, and spices, this rice is zesty and delicious. It also makes the perfect dish to go along with these tasty Delimex Taquitos and Tacos.

If you love zesty rice, then this Mexican Rice was made for you! I decided to put a unique twist on this dish and throw in some black beans and corn. It gives it great flavor and a delicious taste. And since you can make it in the convenience of your own home, I guarantee it’ll be a dinnertime favorite.

Did I mention how easy this Mexican Rice is to whip up? You’ll be amazed at how simple it is to transform some white rice into a dish flavored with salsa, garlic, and spices.

To start, you’ll want to combine some uncooked rice, chicken broth, butter, salsa, garlic powder, black beans, salt and pepper into a medium pot. Bring the mixture to a boil and then cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice mixture is tender. Fluff with a fork and get ready to indulge in this zesty Mexican Rice.

 This Mexican Rice cooks up full of zesty flavor and hearty beans. The salsa and seasonings give this dish a nice twist, which pairs perfectly with the Delimex Taquitos. If you’re looking for a Cinco de Mayo dish, then this is it!
