If you want to take this great recipe to the another level of flavors, add chopped onions when the rice is toasting and sauté for a few minutes… chefs kiss
I followed this recipe and my rice turned out mushy and still had some hard pieces of rice in it. What did I do wrong? And it came out a Lil bit too salty. 😞
All I have to say is thank you for making all your videos easy to follow. I'm half latina and I was raised by my Caucasian mom who didn't cook mexican food. I can now gladly say you have taught me so many wonderful Mexican dishes that I have always wanted to know how to make. Thank you!
I'm a trained Chef and have for a few years now been trying to find a Spanish rice I liked and this is the one, made it twice this week using fresh paste tomato, onion and serrano from my garden, added 1/4 tsp sugar the second time and used paprika instead of the annateo (did not have any) the first time and a smokey paprika the second time and boy is this better than any restaurant Spanish rice I've had, the wife felt the same, thanks...
Made this for the 3rd time and it is our absolute favorite! Everyone goes back for more until it’s gone. Definitely going to be a weekly side dish in our family. Thank you!
If there's a rice expert it's definitely my wife and she said this was hands down the best Mexican rice she's ever had. And I couldn't agree more as the rice overshadowed the main course! Incredible...
Yes I called it a " DROP THE MIKE" moment. Today I'm trying it with achiote which first time I made this deliciousness I did not hv. Will keep you posted on how it turns out. Making now as I type. Whoo hoo......
When I was 13, I fell in love for the first time, she was Hispanic and Her family welcomed me with open arms. I cared about her deeply, but when I think back I loved feeling like I was part of her family even more. And her mom and grandma used to make all these Mexican dishes her dad used to fix us Carne Asada for us, her mom would make Fideo and Menudo. But her grandma would make this Mexican rice and tamales that were like earth shattering. And I swear to God this rice takes me right back to her kitchen. I can’t tell you how wonderful this recipe is, thank you for making me feel like a kid again.
I had the experience of working for a Mexican family at their restaurant. I was a teenage white kid, but I worked for them for a number of years and I got to be friends with them. They invited me to their homes and parties and welcomed me like I was one of their own. Part of their culture was to always share and open their homes and never ask anything in return. Great people and great culture.
Best recipe hand down!!! I followed this recipe about a month and a half ago and my boyfriend LOVED IT !! He has been begging for it every since !! so I’ve been searching for this video to find the recipe again ❤️👏
This is very similar to how I make rice, but one difference is I like to season my rice with tamari as well as salt and I flavor the oil with a bay leaf or two before adding the rice. I’ve found the flavor of bay leaves is greatly enhanced by cooking them in oil.
Followed this recipe just as shown and it turned out perfectly one of the best I've ever had thank u thank u Very important tip when pouring the tomato sauce in stir quickly cover with lid and turn stove top down to like 3 very light simmer for 20 mins and whatever u do dont take the lid off until the 20 minutes is up
Me too on the toasting the rice....Googled a Mexican rice recipe and didnt believe it....thats how i found this video...... had to look it up on TH-cam to see for myself....glad i did she is awesome
Yes! You are using olive oil. Don't use corn oil which causes heart disease. Corn oil or vegetable oil is the preferred oil of fast food joints which is causing everyone to have heart disease and diabetic. Only use olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil or lard. Stay healthy with Mexican food. Great recipe.
Lately when I do a search for recipes within TH-cam your channel often appears at the top of the list. Your videos are consistently well shot, your video and written instructions quite clear and of course the results are outstanding! Thank you Roseanne ❤️
Thank you so much! My husband who is Mexican and I just moved from the US to Chihuahua and I want to learn how to cook dishes from his culture. It looks yummy, can’t wait to try it out in the kitchen🌶
I'm making this today along with your carne asada recipe. It looks amazing, and so similar to what I usually cook, but yours has ingredients that I hadn't tried before, like the achiote and serrano pepper. My stepdad was born in Silao, Guanajuato, so you know as aromatic as Mexican food is, I could just "smell" this recipe as I was watching the video lol
I stumbled upon your channel while looking for another Mexican recipe and decided to watch. I'm glad I did and I'll definitely have to try it. Thank you.
Your recipe looks soo amazing !! Your video is the first video I have seen for Mexican rice that has used fresh ingredients and no bullion, and you actually rinsed the rice..Thank you for sharing!!!!
I’m not sure how I managed to stumble across this, but I’m so very glad I did. All I had on hand was long grain jasmine rice, but it worked very nicely. I skipped the pepper because I can’t handle the spice. Annato achiote isn’t something I have access to, but I did find a substitute online of 1 ½ Tbsp paprika, 1 Tbsp white vinegar, and ¾ tsp dried oregano. It made a nice paste which I definitely feel the rice would have missed had I been forced to skip it. I’m very much looking forward to making this again. The flavor was excellent, and it wasn’t over complicated to make
I love Mexican rice! Thank you once again for yet another delicious recipe. I’ve been planning a Mexican feast, takes time gathering the ingredients as I live in the UK but I’m almost ready to try them. Can’t wait!🇬🇧
My God! This is my first time making Spanish rice outside of the Rice-a-Roni version and it is so good my son devoured the entire pan. Great recipe! Thank you!
I made your rice yesterday as a side dish for fajitas AND it was fantastic! It looked just like yours, fluffy, the coloring, little specks throughout. Thanks so much. Oh, the flavor was excellent. This is amazingly easy to make. I'm thinking I'll make my fried rice in this manner, too. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Looks delicious. I use Calrose mediuii rice gluten-free. Same way ,you matke it rice,I put 2 table spoon of butter and the rice comes out soft. Cumi, garlic powder, tomato sauce. Pinch of salt. To your, taste.
I made this tonight for my family because I told them they don’t know what they’re missing with all the boxes rices. It’s all gone, lol, literally reminds me of my families home cooking growing up! Thank you so much for sharing!
I’ve made this recipe numerous times after trying it several months ago.. It is “Heaven on Earth”! My family and I love, love, love it. Thank you for sharing it with us.❤️
Wow! Wow! Wow! I made three of your dishes this weekend, all for the first time. Beef Fajitas, Mexican, rice, and refried beans. All three of your recipes are absolutely phenomenal. Each of these was the best I have ever had even at any restaurant. I’ve never made any one of these three before. I will be making them a lot. I give you all the credit because you’re teaching and recipes are what did the trick. I can’t give you enough compliments. Thank you thank you thank you! I can’t wait to start trying some of your other recipes.
Hola Roxana hablas español? Te mando las gracias a ti y a Nelson por su excelente trabajo los felicito y les mando un saludo afectuoso desde Morelia Michoacán
Oh my goodness! I just made this dish. The toasted rice and fresh ingredients made this a much more nuanced dish than I had thought it would be. Thought I didn't like Mexican rice, based on restaurant versions. This is lightyears of difference. Also, made it to go with the carnitas, refritos, and salsa roja. Together a wonderful layering of flavors. Thanks for the great recipes.
Tried making this twice, the rice doesnt soak up the ingredients- frustrating cuz it looks good. If i try this again and it doesnt work again im walking into traffic
This is THE rice from the Mexican restaurant. I cheated and used some caldo de tomate instead of straight tomato/paste, but this recipe is the best on TH-cam. Period. Stop looking elsewhere. Make this now. 🤣🙃😎
I'm mexican but from the central region of Mexico and we don't use the spices you mentioned but I'm excited to give it a try. Always be open to something new! Hopefully I can still put bananas on top (add a bit of salt to bananas and yum!) Update: I didn't have annatto but it still came out great!
Used this recipe last night served up with my family favorite "Back Yard Bario Asada" and Mexican Macaroni salad. MmmmmSabor!!! The serrano pepper is the pièce de résistance for me. Been eating Spanish/Mexican rice since I was able to crawl and I have never been able to get the right amount of spice (I like it spicy) without over doing it for everyone else at the table. The split serranos hit the mark perfectly... Muy Caliente!!! Thanks for sharing!!! My new family favorite!!!🤘🤩🤘 Frito
Authentic and delicious! I love this recipe I do most of the cooking at home and my wife thinks this rice is the beat she has ever had! Thank you! Happy Cooking!
Personally I could eat rice 3 times a day in whatever style, my mom since we were 5 kids would add chickpeas to help fill us up, chickpeas are underrated for thier nutritional benefits..,
So it looks like the Annatto is what gives the Mexican rice its color(Besides all of the damn tomato/paste lol) I always wondered why Mexican Rice was always a different color than rice from other parts of the world, which I have also tried.
I tried this for me and my son and it was amazing. Il be cooking this all of the time from now on. Thank you for inspiring me to cook alot more mexican cuisine.
Villa, I love your recipe and this is the one I really needed thank you I am a subscriber I have to make this so I can put a little pico de gallo in it thank you again
Im the only one that eats it in my familiy and they think im weird cause i eat it so much and its so delicioso and today i made it for my family and they said this is amazing wow
okay the way she just made her rice right now is exactly the way I've just made my rice the other day plus I made it for years my husband's Mexican we meant we were teenagers and I lived with the family for a while so I learned all of my authentic Mexican meals from my mother-in-law as a matter of fact that's all I know how to make I don't even really make white American dishes but I just started dabbling into that but since my husband's a diabetic I had to change things up
First recipe I've come across that actually remembers to rinse the rice first. Skipping this step makes mush. How we get that nice fluffy texture we want in Spanish rice. Well done!
We made rice this wkend and was told not to wash it by a friend ( I’ve washed it in the past). I feel the rice didn’t cook well. I had to keep adding water. rice seemed mushy 🤦🏻♀️ Why?? Bcuz it wasn’t washed?
I’m just a white girl wishing I had a Mexican mama to teach me all of the dishes 😩 I love the people and the culture. And of course the food! Thank you for your videos❤️
Muy muy sabrozo! La comida-mexicana es-pura energia@! Y la familia-es el centre de la familia Mexicana-una familia que disfrurte junta-siempre estare-junta!!!
Just made this LOVED it. Love the smell, the flavor and I stole some of that 'juice' to make a gravy just to avoid ruining it with something else. 🙈 Just decided I'm doing this every week if not two times a week. Living in south africa, so not getting much Mexican dishes, so this definitely the flavor I hoped for. 😍 Thank you so much for making it so easy. 😎
This is a fabulous recipe. My family loves your wonderful rice. Two of my children does not care for Spanish rice, but when I made your's, they ate it all up and asked for seconds. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve commented on this recipe before, but it bears commenting again.. Best Mexican rice recipe I have yet encountered, bar none. I’ve been cooking Mexican food for over 20 yrs. This rice recipe has supplanted what used to be my stand by’s. Tremendous bang for buck in its simplicity to flavor quotient.
I used this recipe two days ago to make a bed for chile colorado. It was so easy and the final product was absolutely delicious. Thanks for providing this.
I made this and your Chile Rellenos with cheese in a tomato sauce. Omg it was so DELICIOUS As i was eating the meal i said God please bless this woman for the recipes that she has shared. Thank you very much my dear. I wish your channel to grow and i wish you all the best in life. God bless you 🙏.
Hola! I made this for my fiance yesterday and she LOVED it! I used 3 cloves of garlic because of course I did. We love garlic! She said "this is some of the best Mexican rice I've had." Thank you SO much. Going to try your refried beans recipe soon, too. God bless.
I AM SOOOO HUNGRY FOR THIS... 😋 I ❤ it CARNITAS & SOFT TACO......Salsa Onions, chopped tomatoes green mild chili sauce.......Mmmmmm. I also have not had in SOOO LONG CHILI RELLENO like Vellarta Grocery in CANOGA PARK..... the Mexican food deli, the decorations & tables made U feel U were on VACATION could sit eat peacefully feeling nurtured. CALM..... I ❤ their fried green peppers & onions. The green peppers were perfect not to HOT but a SWEET HOT........
I was searching for Mexican Rice recipes and came across your channel. Sooo HAPPY I found yours. I am Puerto Rican and my Mom taught me several rice recipes, but I not have not made Mexican rice myself to date. And, Loving Mexican food as much as I do, I need to learn and make it!! I am really looking forward to watching and learning many more DEEE-LICIOUS authentic dishes from you. New subbie for sure!! Arlene
Today I felt like looking up Mexican rice recipes for ideas. Yours was the 18th one I came across and the first that didn’t make tomato rice. As in tomato paste, bouillon, onion and rice. I like the idea of using achiote; I will have to try that in my rice… after I try your recipe. I usually throw some dried New Mexico chiles in the blender but have been experimenting with other chilies. Happy cooking!
My momma makes delicious rice too. R.I.P Marilu Lujan Mejia 21SEP53 to 21MAY21 . Covid 19 did not take you .The lord and his Momma did. I will never forget you momma.
Who else loves Mexican rice ?
Do a chile relleno recipe!
Uh me
I do
I do
My mom makes hers a little different but yours looks like it'd be alright
Whats ground anado?
Orale. Tu sabes quien!
Just had an idea what if we make it with smoky salsa and any additional ingredients to get that smoky flavour.
If you want to take this great recipe to the another level of flavors, add chopped onions when the rice is toasting and sauté for a few minutes… chefs kiss
That’s what I do! Once the onion begins toasting, I add a lil crushed garlic. As soon as the garlic begins turning brown, I add the blended sauce.
nana, this level is just fine
I would put some chopped raw onion on top
The onion is in the sauce
Just made this for me and my hubby, and it was freaking AMAZING!! We had it with a nice big steak, which i highly recommend 😻
Great to hear!
Made this for my coworkers one day and now they demand more LOL
I followed this recipe and my rice turned out mushy and still had some hard pieces of rice in it. What did I do wrong? And it came out a Lil bit too salty. 😞

Sam but I’m Puerto Rican and white but my hubby is Mexican so I had to learn 😊
Same!
It was the opposite with me. Mexican dad and Caucasian mom. Did not learn his families recipes. Now I’m I’m learning all these great dishes!
Beans, rice, and corn tortillas are enough to make a happy life.
Yes it is... especially here in New Mexico USA
I second that from Los Angeles California
Agreed
I would add cheese, limo, chile and some sort of meat to this list.

@@corkywilliams3716 I suggest leaving the bay leaf in when you are toasting the rice. I always remove them before adding the sauce
Made this tonight with oven roasted chicken thighs and OMG. It was amazing. Such a simply recipe that has so much flavor!!!!!! ❤
The addition of the chicken breast sounds good.
Followed this recipe just as shown and it turned out perfectly one of the best I've ever had thank u thank u
Very important tip when pouring the tomato sauce in stir quickly cover with lid and turn stove top down to like 3 very light simmer for 20 mins and whatever u do dont take the lid off until the 20 minutes is up
Your recipe was presented in a easy to follow vlog...loved it and your music wasnt distracting. Cant wait to try you recipe. Thank you
I agree 100%. Right to the point, clear and easy to understand and wonderful recipes.

It is superb!!!
TWO SUNNY SIDE UPS ON TOP AND TWO FILIPINO GARLIC PORK SAUSAGES AND A CUP OF SUMATRAN COFFEE. PERFECTO SENORITA!
I used to eat a rice like this mixed with hardboiled egg chunks and bananas when i was a little kid. Sounds crazy but if you have any leftovers...
I love Mexican rice! Thank you once again for yet another delicious recipe. I’ve been planning a Mexican feast, takes time gathering the ingredients as I live in the UK but I’m almost ready to try them. Can’t wait!🇬🇧
Can't wait to make this! Hoping it tastes like my Abuela's. Thank you for sharing.
Can I do this in a rice maker? Just fry brown the rice first?
My God! This is my first time making Spanish rice outside of the Rice-a-Roni version and it is so good my son devoured the entire pan. Great recipe! Thank you!
Awesome!!! Love it

I cooked this yesterday and it was AMAZING!! Thank you xxx

One of my favorite dishes! Looks so good.

This is a classic Mexican rice. I like to add a Chipotle pepper with a tsp of sause instead of a serano pepper. Good job.

Hola Hermosa. 😍Beautiful voice and amazing rice 🍚. Will definitely make this tomorrow. Can we use veg stock/Broth instead of chicken?
Hi there. Yes, definitely. 😊
I substituted a habanero instead of the jalapeño. Best decision ever.
This is THE rice from the Mexican restaurant.
I cheated and used some caldo de tomate instead of straight tomato/paste, but this recipe is the best on TH-cam. Period. Stop looking elsewhere. Make this now. 🤣🙃😎

Thanks for coming back and letting me know how this went.
Bananas on top of rice? BANANAS? Or do you mean platain or maduros?
How do you make your rice? What spices?
@@VillaCocina What can we use instead of annatto (hard to find)? I've seen some people comment on using paprika. What do you think of this substitute?
OMG this is the best rice I have ever done! It turned out perfect!!! Thank you!!

Thanks !!!!! Im glad you find the videos helpful.
I make mine the same as this , but i add sweetcorn , sauted peppers and spring onions to mine.
I made this rice today and it was delicious omg the family could of eaten the whole pot.
Awesome
Excellent recipe👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
I tried this for me and my son and it was amazing. Il be cooking this all of the time from now on. Thank you for inspiring me to cook alot more mexican cuisine.
Thank you for this wonderful comment.
The amount of seasonings on plate do not match the written measurements.

Thanks for subbing!
I just got here after Rachel Ray made a Sushi Rice.
Im the only one that eats it in my familiy and they think im weird cause i eat it so much and its so delicioso and today i made it for my family and they said this is amazing wow
Im so glad you were able to enjoy this recipe with your Family.
okay the way she just made her rice right now is exactly the way I've just made my rice the other day plus I made it for years my husband's Mexican we meant we were teenagers and I lived with the family for a while so I learned all of my authentic Mexican meals from my mother-in-law as a matter of fact that's all I know how to make I don't even really make white American dishes but I just started dabbling into that but since my husband's a diabetic I had to change things up
Making this now and my whole house smells amazing!
There was a spice you added with the cumin that I have never heard of. I wonder how difficult it will be find it.
Achiote (annatto)- If there is a local Mexican store near you I would start there.
Excellent technique! Especially with the Serrano Chile in the middle.
Mexican rice in restaurants is usually dry.....this looks more wet sticky like jambalaya
First recipe I've come across that actually remembers to rinse the rice first. Skipping this step makes mush. How we get that nice fluffy texture we want in Spanish rice. Well done!

I doubled the recipe and it came out just as good.
I’ve commented on this recipe before, but it bears commenting again.. Best Mexican rice recipe I have yet encountered, bar none. I’ve been cooking Mexican food for over 20 yrs. This rice recipe has supplanted what used to be my stand by’s. Tremendous bang for buck in its simplicity to flavor quotient.
I am happy I can help! 😊 thanks for the feedback
It looks better than Mexican RiceORoni.
This is without a doubt , the best 😊
I used this recipe two days ago to make a bed for chile colorado. It was so easy and the final product was absolutely delicious. Thanks for providing this.
Sounds great! Glad it was helpful 😊
I made this and your Chile Rellenos with cheese in a tomato sauce.
Omg it was so DELICIOUS
As i was eating the meal i said God please bless this woman for the recipes that she has shared.

Hi! Just found your channel today. Happy happy joy joy! Loving it so far.
I have tried to cook Mexican Rice many times and this method is hands down the best! I Could not stop eating it! Thank you for making it simple!
Great to hear!
Not only did this taste so good, but it made my entire home smell AMAZING. 😊
Hola! I made this for my fiance yesterday and she LOVED it! I used 3 cloves of garlic because of course I did. We love garlic! She said "this is some of the best Mexican rice I've had." Thank you SO much. Going to try your refried beans recipe soon, too. God bless.
What type of rice do you recommend?
I made this last Sunday to go with my chicken enchiladas. This is truly amazing. Fantastic. Thank you.
For years I tried to make red rice and it came out horrible. I followed your recipe and it came out great. My family loved it. Thank you for sharing!
I AM SOOOO HUNGRY FOR THIS... 😋
I ❤ it CARNITAS & SOFT TACO......Salsa
Onions, chopped tomatoes green mild chili sauce.......Mmmmmm.
I also have not had in SOOO LONG CHILI RELLENO like Vellarta Grocery in CANOGA PARK..... the Mexican food deli, the decorations & tables made U feel U were on VACATION could sit eat peacefully feeling nurtured. CALM.....
I ❤ their fried green peppers & onions.
The green peppers were perfect not to HOT but a SWEET HOT........
Excelente 😃receta muchas gracias 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 delicioso 👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹
I was searching for Mexican Rice recipes and came across your channel. Sooo HAPPY I found yours. I am Puerto Rican and my Mom taught me several rice recipes, but I not have not made Mexican rice myself to date. And, Loving Mexican food as much as I do, I need to learn and make it!! I am really looking forward to watching and learning many more DEEE-LICIOUS authentic dishes from you. New subbie for sure!! Arlene
Great recipe for my first time making Mexican rice, thank you!
I like Mexican rice but is not the best. Is plain rice. The best one is PUERTO RICAN RICE ARROZ CON GANDULES AND NEXT SHRIMP FRIED RICE CHINESSE.
love your recipe, just made it and it’s yummy 🍽 can’t believe there’s haters out there to give you the thumbs down😶
Exactly what I was looking for. Cant wait to make this. Liked !
Today I felt like looking up Mexican rice recipes for ideas. Yours was the 18th one I came across and the first that didn’t make tomato rice. As in tomato paste, bouillon, onion and rice. I like the idea of using achiote; I will have to try that in my rice… after I try your recipe. I usually throw some dried New Mexico chiles in the blender but have been experimenting with other chilies. Happy cooking!
My momma makes delicious rice too. R.I.P Marilu Lujan Mejia 21SEP53 to 21MAY21 . Covid 19 did not take you .The lord and his Momma did. I will never forget you momma.
