Mexican Rice, Cooked

Mexican Rice, Cooked

Everyday

Mexican rice is a traditional side dish characterized by its golden-red hue from being toasted and simmered with tomatoes, onions, and garlic. This savory staple gains depth from spices like cumin and is typically cooked in chicken or vegetable broth, contributing to its fluffy texture and aromatic profile. While primarily a carbohydrate source, it provides modest vitamin C from tomato content, though sodium levels vary based on preparation methods.
