This was such an outstanding recipe! The only tweaks I made were: I used two cups of brown rice, and instead of tomato sauce or paste, I used extra salsa and a squirt of tomato ketchup! I also use the can of Rotel so I omitted the extra green chilies. I use two cups of water and it was just simply perfect! Thank you so much for this recipe.

To the 2 cups of dry white rice, I used garlic & onion powder (all i had), the cumin, the chili, and then mixed the dry ingredient before put in cooker. In a two cup container i added a can of rotel tomatoes, the tomato sauce, the salsa and my 1 cup of water , (my liquid ingredients came out to a little over 2 cups, so that's my usual rice to water ratio). I did add in one half a chopped jalapeno, because here in Texas we like our Mexican rice spicy. What i should have done was stir everything together BEFORE i added to rice cooker. I also had to add in 1/2 cup of water and run 1/2 halfway again because my rice didnt get quite soft enough. Definitely will make again, and will increase the jalapeno and chili next time.

Flavor was very nice. I added mild salsa and 1/2 can of green chilis, and it came out flavorful, but not hot spicy. I think I had too much liquid as mine came out as mush. I wash my rice beforehand, so I suspect that is the difference. Anyone rinse rice and have recommendations?

Way too spicy. I followed the directions minus the optional things. I used mild everything.
