So, so easy and yummy, too! As the description suggests, this recipe was altered easily to what I had on hand but I followed the gist of the recipe. The best mexican rice I've made and, by far, the fastest and easiest! I had leftover brown rice (~1.5 cups) that needed to get used up. I sauteed some chopped onion, red and orange pepper, and a handful of chopped fresh tomatoes until all was tender. I added my rice, and poured in some leftover italian flavored tomato sauce, basil, oregano and garlic I think (b/c that is what I had on hand!) I had a tablespoon of chopped cilantro that I needed to use after making burritos, so I threw that in with some leftover canned corn (I usually do not care for canned corn...), and probably 1/3 can of pinto beans I had in the fridge. I sprinkled taco seasoning to taste as well as salt and pepper and I enjoyed this more than the burrito. Thanks for the great recipe and suggesting that it is practically made to be altered to your tastes or what you have on hand! I was worried about my tomato sauce, but it had all the tex-mexican flavoring that I hoped for. Yummy! Great way to use up leftover ingredients!

The rice was great. The recipe could serve an army and I was only making it for myself. I originally left the lettuce out, but added some to my plate and I loved it. I used black beans in place of the kidney beans. I wanted mine a little more spicy so I added some hot sauce, mmmmmmm.

The only things I did differently were to use canned corn instead of kidney beans, and I sprinkled the shredded lettuce on top. I served it with Chicken Flautas from this site. A nice meal! Thanks!

Excellent recipe if you cook the rice in the tomatoes and sauce instead of just water. I decreased the water and used Ro-Tel tomatoes since my family likes things spicy. And I've used every bean imaginable for this dish, except the kidney bean. Just our preference. Very tasty and very easy.

This was a great recipe! I used black beans and didn't use lettuce. I also used RoTel tomatoes to give it a little kick! Thanks!

I tried this recipe out on some family members that came over for a grill. It was a huge hit. I will be making it on Sunday for my granddaughters baptism party. We are doing a Mexican grill party with Carne Asada, this rice dish and etc. etc. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Oh, I too added all ingredients to the water with the rice (omitting the shredded lettuce).

This was great! I gave it a 4 because I made some changes. I sauteed some onion, garlic and 1/2 head of green cabbage in canola oil until soft, added the rice and taco seasoning and sauteed then added the water and beans. After the rice was cooked, I added some frozen peas and a can of tomatoes with jalapenos (I think an additional can of tomato sauce would have been too much tomato). It turned out great! Made a lot of food, my hubby loved it and we used it as burrito filling! Very healthy, cheap and satisfying-thanks!

I did not care for this recipe. I followed another reviewer's suggestion to add in the tomato ingredients in the beginning, which seemed to make the rice simultaneously raw and burnt. I will make this again to see if the original method works.

Very tasty. It does make quite a bit of rice though, so either halve the recipe, or invite the neighbours! My 10-year old son thought that added corn niblets might be a nice added touch and I think I agree. We'll try that the next time.

Sigh. I really, really WANTED to like this. It was just a big ball of tomato-flavored mush, and leftovers were even worse. No one in my household wanted more than a few bites. And it definitely made too much, to boot. I won't be making this again. Sorry.

I usually just make a boxed Mexican rice for the sake of easy prep. This was better than the boxed stuff and just as easy. And I like that it is whole grain. Next time I will use tomatoes with green chilis. I did not stir in the lettuce. This make a huge amount.

One of my favorite dishes to make. For me being "Semi-vegetarian" this can go as a whole dinner for me (it has protein carbs, and veggies in it). I like my food a little spicy, so I add a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper to the rice when I add in the taco seasoning mix. yummmmy!

Good stuff! Didn't have packaged taco seasoning so I added garlic powder, cayenne, salt, pepper, oregano, chili powder to season. Tasted great! Had a little kick but that was of my own doing.

Another adaptation: Omit the tomatoes, paste, and taco seasoning, and substitute your favorite salsa! I used Nature's Promise medium, added some shredded cheese, and it was delicious!!
