I made this rice tonight to go with our enchiladas. It turned out pretty good. It was not wet or sticky at all because the rice had been toasted. My husband and I agreed that it was lacking some kind of flavor, though. I can't quite put my finger on what, maybe a little cumin?? If you want a Mexican Rice that doesn't clump or stick together, give this recipe a try. Made for Fall P.A.C. '09.
