      I was looking for a side dish to serve with chimichangas that I thought my family may like and this fit the bill. I cooked the rice in chicken broth, used my homemade salsa and it was deliciously cheesy and spicy - everyone liked it. Thanks for posting!

      WOW - "how easy is that!" This was the perfect side to go with Chicken Quesadillas. I loved that I had all the ingredients on hand and it was SUPER easy and fast! My little one year old thanks you too -- he couldn't get enough! :) Thanks for sharing!

      I made this with chicken and herb rice. It gave it more flavor and tasted great!

      We made this tonight as a side for our tacos. I followed the directions exactly. I agree with a previous reviewer who said it seems like it's missing something...it's got the heat but not necessarily the spice (maybe next time I will try adding some taco seasoning or something). It was good, and I'm planning on trying again and seeing if I can figure out what type of spice it needs to take it over the top for our family. It was definitely quick and easy and I appreciate that it only requires a couple of ingredients. Thanks for posting!!!!

      This was good, but we felt it needed just a little something, not sure what... but it was quick and easy to throw together, and will try again :)

      I keep rice frozen so this came together quickly for me. I thawed the rice in the fridge during the day and then threw the recipe together while my other items were cooking for dinner. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't measure my cheese, I just dumped it on. We all enjoyed it. Made for ZWT5.

      Delicious! The family gobbled this up! This was so quck and easy, and the ingredients were things that I always have on hand. It went well with Mexican Bean Hotpot and Mexican Beef. I'll keep this recipe handy to feed my hungry family. Thanks Charmie777. Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT5.

      This rice turned out good. I added some extra seasonings(garlic, southwestern seasoning, etc) and it made it better. I had some leftover meat from the chimichangas(sp) that I added to it for leftovers. Should be good. Made for ZWT5 for the Cooks with Dirty Faces. Thanks for a great easy recipe.

      Very quick and easy side dish to prepare. It was very similar to Spanish rice only a little drier. I used a Mexican blend cheese which was a combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack. Made as a side to my Mexican Fiesta dinner tonight. Made for ZWT5.

      Muchas gracias for finally giving me something to do with that little bit of salsa I always appear to left over in the jar when I used it in a recipe. I made this tonight with some beef fajitas and it was a real snap. The only thing I changed was to use a blend of cheddar and Monterey jack cheese instead of just cheddar. Made for the Chow Hound team as part of ZWT5.

      Love this. We had it with some black bean and cheese quesadillas. Topped with a little sour cream and green onion.

      I really enjoyed this rice dish. So easy, so tasty. I used brown rice which is what I'm supposed to be eating now and served it with tostitos. Great meal. I'll certainly be making this rice again. Thanks for the recipe.

      We loved this with our mexican themed supper last night. I cooked the rice in 2 cups of vegetable broth. I also added a drained rinsed can of black beans and a drained can of chopped green chiles. I think we'll be having this as a regular part of any Mexican meals! Thanks.

      Quick, easy and very tasty. I used homemade salsa and extra sharp cheddar cheese. I'll be making this again.
