Rice is one of those side dishes that is a staple to serve along side any Mexican main dish. This recipe today is a simple and quick Mexican rice.
Minute rice is what helps to make this so quick to make. It also uses finely diced onion and green pepper. I just give them a few whirls in my food processor and they are finely chopped and ready to go.
