I thought I used a good salsa, but the rice was terribly bland.

Simple, easy and definitely delicious! Cut this in half for just the 2 of us and then did saute my garlic and rice for a couple of minutes before adding my water and salsa! I think the salsa is key - it can make or break your rice depenidng on the flavour. I use a dried mix that you add your own fresh tomatoes and lime juice to and it's FANTASTIC!

This was so simple and so good. I used Uncle Ben's rice in the microwave - no need for water and then added the salsa. I also added some sauteed chopped green pepper and onion along with some chili powder and cumin to give it a little something more.

My brothers and I loved this! It was simple to make a tasted great. If you use about 3/5 of a 16 oz jar it tastes great and has a mild spiciness too it.

OHH! Perfect perfect perfect! Just what I was looking for in a rice recipe. I don't like box mixes and I didn't have time on a Sunday to cook my usual all day way, so this was a lifesaver! And, it tasted great!! I will use this again and again.

I'm looking forward to trying different salsas in this recipe. I will use 8 to 16 ounces of salsa depending on the variety I buy. This time we used the full amount of Texas-Texas brand salsa but, because it is so flavorful, we could have used half as much.

I ended up doing a hybrid of this recipe plus my mother's. In a bit of oil I added in 1C rice and garlic and sauteed. Then I added in 1C of salsa and let that heat up + some cumin powder. Then I added in 2C of water and let the rice cook and fluffed. Perfect.

Very easy and very good. I made this with cheesy chicken enchiladas and pollo fajitas (the fajitas I got on this website). My friends loved it.

Delicious! I cooked the rice and water and then added the salsa and 1/2 C. cheddar cheese. Will definitely be making this again soon.

Very good - too spicy for my family, so I will try less salsa next time. This time we just put sour cream on and it was great. VERY easy to make!

As per other reviewers, I sauteed the rice and garlic in a little butter. I also substituted chicken broth for the water and only added 3/4 of the jar of salsa. Turned out perfect! The whole family loved it!!! I did simmer covered, wasn't sure since it didn't say. I love simple recipes with so few ingredients that taste so flavorful! Will definitely make this again!!!!!!!

AWESOME!! For only 3 ingredients this is really good. I'm sure it's not authentic but it is fast to prepare. I did brown the rice and fresh garlic before adding liquid. I will be making this again!!

Super simple and very tasty! This was a big hit with my family. I browned the rice and garlic and used Pace Picante sauce. The consistency was perfect and the flavor was great.
