Introduction
This is my favorite type of rice. It’s easy to make and really delicious. The addition of butter gives it an extra creamy texture that you won’t find in other Mexican rice recipes.
Mexican Rice
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 2 jalapeno peppers
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 medium white onion
Rinse rice in cold water until the water is clear.
Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes any excess starch from the surface of the grains, which can make them sticky and clumpy when cooked.
Rinsing also helps prevent overcooking and allows for more even cooking throughout your dish.
When you’re ready to cook your Mexican rice, bring 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan or pot to a boil over high heat with 1 teaspoon salt (or more if desired). Add 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice and bring back up to boil then reduce heat down so that it simmers gently for 15 minutes covered with lid slightly askew on top off heat source while stirring occasionally until all liquid has been absorbed by rice kernels themselves leaving no excess liquid behind at bottom, sides or corners inside bottom surface area where food sits during cooking process–this prevents sticking together when finished cooking process begins!
