Chipotle Spanish Rice created by Outta Here

A bold and smoky chipotle rice that goes great with barbecue, Spanish or Mexican food. You can use only one chipotle if you don't like your rice as spicy as we do.

I followed this recipe to a tee and I have a pan full of mushy rice! I thought it sounded like too much liquid and I should have followed my instincts. I'll never make this again. I would love to hear from others who had this same experience.

This was super tasty. I did do somethings different. I used brown rice (I think instant rice might cook down better, but not sure). I didn't have the chipotle peppers so I used a jalapeno (chopped & seeded) it had a little heat to it. Will make this again whenever I'm in the mood for mexican food. Very easy recipe, this was my first time to make spanish rice.

This is the best Spanish rice I have ever tasted. Love the smoky heat of the chipotle. I couldn't find the fire-roasted tomatoes, but regular diced tomatoes worked fine. Made for Fall 2007 PAC.
