I had tried what seemed like every Mexican rice mix and box at the grocery store but none of them tasted like the rice at our favorite local Mexican place. This recipe tastes JUST like it, though. We all absolutely love it. And no matter what you serve it alongside, I’m betting your family will love it too. Yeah, it’s easy, but its’ also delicious! That’s a total win-win in my book!
