so simple. add-heat-stir. this is my first spanish rice dish and i'm keeping it. it was a bit spicy for us, so i expect to use half the spice next time. i cooked this to compliment chicken enchiladas recipe #24041 with the heat in this dish and the lack of heat in the enchiladas it was a perfect match. note: cooked chicken or beef would fit right in this dish.

Found this way,way too salty for my taste. I suspect the taco seasoning is the villain. Next time will only use a third of it.

So good. I did not add any corn or black beans, but this rice was alot like the kind in mexican restraunts! I made it in the rice cooker and I used beef broth as I was out of chicken stock. I will make again and use the chicken stock.

Delicious and super easy! Omitted the beans because I was serving alongside black beans and cheese enchiladas. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Was good but a little but mushy but that might have been because I kept stirring it (but because it was sticking to the bottom of the pot and I didn't want it to burn)
