Rice Cooker Mexican Rice Recipe
Easy to make rice like you get at the mexican restaurant. Cooks up in your rice cooker without any fuss, mess or stirring! Haven't tried it- but could be made on the stovetop in a covered pot.
1 cup rice (I used long grain rice)
2 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup onions, diced small
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1 dash pepper
1 dash red pepper flakes
cilantro or parsley, for color
6 servings

1. combine all ingredients in rice cooker.
2. cook according to manufacturer instructions.
3. when cooking time finished let it sit uncovered for 3 minutes or so to thicken.
4. stir before serving.

Answer 3

I think there's more than a few recipes....
But my favorite is 3 to 4 cups of unboiled rice one can of
peeled tomatoes whole or stewed.

And one whole chicken, put that in an oven for about an hour. with a lid or cover so the rice doesn't overcook.
I believe the authentic recipe has chicken broth and peppers with whole tomatoes

Buy a box of Goya Arroz Mexicano. Its about $1.50 and itis the best. Add some green pimento olives and rasins and chicken for a central american flair. You can even add some salsa to the mix. I don't like to cook so this is the beest for me and everyone likes it. Enjoy!
