This was very good rice. I'll use this again for sure. My DH wrapped this in his flour tortillas along with the seasoned meat. Perfect for picky eaters too as there is no onion, no green peppers, and no chunks of tomatoes in this. I used the juice I drained from the fire roasted tomatoes I was using for an accompanying salsa for this instead of the tomato sauce. I used morelos rice and garlic powder. I've also done this as written with the tomato sauce and with minced garlic, still great but a tad better with the changes I had to do the other time. Thanks so much Txcookingprincess, I loved grandma's rice!

I gave this a 3 because I'm actually not really sure what to rate it. It's a good idea...it's the way my hubby said his abuela used to make rice. However, he said it's supposed to be fluffy and this definitely didn't come out fluffy. The flavor is right where it's supposed to be. It's not supposed to have an overwhelming flavor, I guess. This isn't spanish rice. However, I'm looking for a way to make it fluffy...any suggestions?

I did the recipe exactly as stated and ran into one little snag. I cooked the rice for the 20 minutes and when I opened the lid it was still really soupy. I brought everything to a boil and then reduced the heat and simmered for 15 minutes (Just like you would prepare regular rice). Hope this helps.

This rice recipe had a strong tomato aroma, and it lacked in flavor. In actuality, I felt it almost had a sour taste to it.

Very good, but after adding the water, you may want it to boil before turning heat down and putting on lid. It soaks up more of the liquid.

It was dry and sticky with no taste. I added one 16 oz. jar of picant sauce. And some taco sauce.Which gave it some taste.. Will not make again.

Used brown rice and chicken stock instead of water came out great. Added peas and topped with green onion when I served.

this recipe was good but, it did not have too much flavor... Except for when I put it in some burritos that I made.. But just plain not as flavorful as I wanted it to be.
