Mexican White Rice

I didn't know this version of white rice was considered the Mexican version but I'm glad I finally found this rice recipe!It's the perfect side dish for my chicken wings.Most definitely you should use natural vegetables, organic peas are much better than canned ones, just boil them in a cup of water for 3 - 5 minutes and follow the same instructions.

I followed the recipe and found my rice to be on the creamy side. If I make this again, I will season it with salt and pepper and skip the milk.

I loved this! I changed it a little based on the ingredients I had available. I skipped the onion and the milk, used 2 cups of water and added one bay leaf and some parsley. It came out great!

Loved this! Creamy, colorful and tasty, this was a welcome alternative to the traditional tomato-based Mexican rice. Hubs and I are not big fans of cooked carrots, but because I wanted the color it lends, I substituted orange bell pepper instead. It, along with the poblano peppers, peas and corn, made this "confetti" rice very visually appealing. I also gave the rice a pinch of saffron for added color and flavor, tho' it wasn't necessary and certainly no criticism of the recipe. A great accompaniment to our Grilled Tequila-Lime Shrimp and Easy Grilled Zucchini, both recipes also from this site. I would make this again in a heart beat. My only criticism is that it needs salt and pepper, big time!

Used frozen peas and carrots and a jalapeno pepper in place of the poblano. Turned out nicely, although I didn't use the milk.

I thought the flavor was very nice. I also liked all the veggies the recipe calls for. HOWEVER my only complaint is that it wasn't fluffy like i would imagine Mexican rice should be. I think maybe substituting more water for the milk may do the trick. If it came out fluffy and not so 'wet' this would be amazing. I will definitely be making this again though, just eliminate the milk and see if that helps. Thanx for the recipe :)

This is very good rice, I was a little unsure about the milk. However it made the rice very creamy and delicious! Nice change for us. Thanks for sharing!
