Mexican Rice

jrvaldez85's Note:

this is a variation of my grandmother's mexican rice. Just as a side note, after you remove the rice from the heat, keep it covered for the whole 15 minutes. The residual heat finishes cooking the rice.

Cooked this last night and hubby loved it. He told me this is a keeper so will be making this often.

I could eat troughs of this stuff and my kitchen smells like a taco truck. Made for All You Can Eat Buffet.
