Really good. I added 1/2 clove of garlic to the onions and a couple of teaspoons of chopped green chiles to the tomatoes. I also used chicken broth instead of water. i would have used rotel instead, but i was out. also, after the rice completed cooking i added a handful of frozen corn then put the lid back on for a few minutes. the corn heated up and retained it's texture. I served this with a mexican style steak and it was really good. this will become a go-to on fajita nights!

This was very good and pretty easy. I used brown rice and a fresh tomato, since I didn't have any canned, and it worked beautifully. The spice level is mild, but satisfying, although I think it could use a little more salt. Definitely a keeper.

I'd definitely make this again, but would probably add some taco seasoning to give it a bit more flavor. I also added a bit of salsa to it while it was cooking.

Super easy to make and very yummy. Used Rotel like suggested in place of the regular diced tomatoes. Perfect!

Good, used stewed tomatoes because I didn't have plain, and it turned out great.

Very easy and good! Definately has a kick to it, so if you don't like spicy things, back off on some the the chili powder. Yummy!

This is a great foundation for a recipe, even though I can't figure out the screwy measurements. I added or changed a few things...for four servings, added 2 cloves of garlic to the onion. Substitued lime and cilantro flavored rotel for the diced tomatoes (and added more than recipe called for). Also Substituted liquid from rotel and chicken broth for water.

This was really good! After reading others reviews, I used Rotel tomatoes (about 1/2 of the can and all the juice). Since I used all the juice from the Rotel, I only used a cup of water. Also, I sauted half of a jalepeno chopped up and 1 tsp. of minced garlic with the onions. As for the seasoning I just used heaping 1/2 tsps of cumin and chili powder. The flavor turned out great!

I made this exactly as the recipe states and it had zero flavor. This recipe definitely needs something. I doubt I would ever make this again.

This rice was great! I added 1/2 can of drained petite diced tomatoes, along with a chicken bouillon cube and followed the rest of the recipe as written. I have to beg to differ on the serving size though; this rice fed my family of 4 and I can't imagine getting 7 servings out of it. Great recipe!

This is great rice recipe. It is simple & cheap to make but also tastes wonderful. I have made this without the diced tomatoes and just used tomato sauce and it was just as good.

This is very good rice--I like the flavor. I used a roma tomato, and will use another tomato next time, along with 1/2 tsp. of salt--it was a little too salty.

This was easy to make, and good! I used a 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes. I didn't have any cumin on hand, but it was good without it! I served this with pollo fajitas on this site. Thanx for sharing the recipe!

Sorry, this was missing something for us. I used tomatoes with green chiles, and used the juice from the tomatoes in place of some of the water. Despite those additions, this was still not that flavorful. On the plus side, this was really easy, but I think we'll keep looking for a mexican rice recipe. Thanks anyway!

I have looked for an easy recipe using items that I already have in my kitchen, including several with chili powder and cumin as the main spice. I was truly surprised how much flavor this had. I assume it comes from the sauted onion. It definitely made our house smell good. I did make a few variations that probably took away from the flavor/texture. For example, I used fresh diced tomato and red onion because that is what I had. This was the best that rice that I have made, but not the best that I have ever had.
