Mexican White Rice for Las Posadas

Rice is a quaint essential side dish on the Mexican cuisine. We prepare it in so many different ways. But today I am sharing this Mexican White Rice, it is flavorful and so good. You may have hadĀ Mexican rice or alsoĀ called arroz rojo, made with tomato puree and KnorrĀ® Tomato with Chicken Granulated Bouillon.

But Mexican style rice can also be made with no tomato. You just need to season it with KnorrĀ® Chicken Flavor Bouillon Granulated Bouillon and La MorenaĀ® Whole JalapeƱos. Both myĀ the secret ingredients to add that authentic Mexican flavor that my family loves.

When thinking of a celebratory menu a Mexican white rice cannot be missed. Because is the perfect complement to any meal. Just like refried beans, those are a must have when serving a Mexican meal.

For Las Posadas I will be pairing this rice with spicy turkey picadillo chiles rellenos to make a complete meal and of course chipotle refried bayo beans.

Many are afraid of cooking rice but is is fairly simple. You just need to be careful to measure 2 cups of hot water per one cup of rice being cooked. Adding more water than the required will make the rice mushy. For a perfect Mexican white rice you need to use long grain rice, garlic, hot water, La MorenaĀ® jalapeƱo peppers and KnorrĀ® Bullion.

Both brands are trusted by many, offer high quality and are ingredients that you can depend on to create delicious meals to bring the family and friends together during this special holiday season.

In my kitchen I alwaysĀ have both, KnorrĀ® and La MorenaĀ® products because with them I can cook my traditional dishes without compromising on the authentic taste of my Mexican cuisine. Authenticity is very important for me because the right flavor is what brings me back home.

There is no doubt that La MorenaĀ® and KnorrĀ® offer quality and flavor that we can count on yesterday, today, tomorrow. It’s great to be able to find my favorite products at Walmart where I bought all the ingredients for this recipe in the Hispanic aisle.
