this recipe is fool proof, i didnt have any chicken broth or boullion, nor did i have tomato sauce. so i used water, added one ramon beef broth packet and chopped up some tomatoes from my garden- i also added a diced green bell pepper. even with only half of the ingredients this turned out amazing. I did end up adding some taco seasoning and a lot of garlic salt since i didn't have the salt from the chicken broth. I have already ate a plate ful even though i made it for dinner in about 2 hours

This rice is very good! I made a double batch to go with Simple Carnitas from this site. And I'm sure that the way I made the rice was even more spectacular because I used the broth from the carnitas recipe for half of the chicken broth. Next time I will use the carnitas broth for all of it--it was just that good.

Really tasty. I used diced tomatoes in their juice instead of the tomato sauce and also sauteed some bell pepper with the onion and added some chili powder.

My boyfriend and I love this recipe. As written, it makes enough rice to last you and your dinner buddy through several meals. We love it! If anything, just spice it up some more ;-)

Really delicious recipe and super easy to make. I substituted veggie broth for chicken as I am a vegetarian and it still tasted great.

This is really good for a quick side dish - better than Lipton or Rice-a-Roni, not as good as restaurant rice. It's easy to make and low on ingredients, which I like. I did use more diced onion than called for and chicken stock instead of broth because that's what I had on hand. For cooking time, instructions should be on your rice box. I used extra long grain brown, so I had to cook for 40 minutes.

This was the first time I have successfully cooked rice on the stove (i have a rice cooker!). I followed the cooking directions, I used medium high heat to puff the rice. I used olive oil. I also threw in a clove of minced garlic with the onion. Instead of garlic salt, I used a 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of cumin, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, and 1/2 tsp of paprika. It tastes great!!! Will definitely make again.

This is an incredibly easy, delicious recipe. I can't think of anything to give it other than 5 stars. I did add 1 tsp minced garlic and since I did not have garlic salt, I used 1/2 tsp garlic powder and a dash of salt with delicious results. I do recommend the rice cooker for rice dishes. If you have one, try it. I love the rice cooker because its easy and fool proof. Sometimes rice can be a pain, so if you are looking to impress, take no chances...just don't eat the thin, scorched layer on the bottom! If you do prefer the stove, here are some tips. 1. Your rice is NOT going to "puff" while being sauteed. I don't know why it said that. Rice will puff, or cook rather, when its completely submerged in liquid. Instead, the first step is meant to give it a more golden color in the end. 2. If you find your rice more "wet" than you'd like, leave on simmer but take off the cover. It will evaporate the extra liquid. 3. To make rice soft: Don't take off the cover while cooking, let your rice stand for about 10 minutes after cooking, then fluff with a wooden spoon, and let stand again for 5 more minutes. 4. If its still not soft enough to eat after cooking, re-cover and cook another 5-10 minutes and refer back to #3. Hope this helps!

This is the closest to Mexican restaurant rice I have tried, and I have tried for years to find it. This is a side dish, not an entree, and that is exactly what I wanted. It turned out fluffy and not wet - which I usually have a problem with. Finally, I have Mexican rice to serve with my Mexican entrees. I cook for 8 picky eaters, and every single one of them loved it and ate a lot of it.

Great recipe with a couple of changes. I used homemade taco seasoning in place of the spices. Used butter instead of oil. I also highly recommend after the saute step that you put the rice and all the other things in a rice cooker...I didn't do this and mine burned on the bottom...next time I will definitely make in the rice cooker!

My hubby from Texas thinks this is as good as his mom's - she is from Mexico. Easy to prepare, and very very good. Portion is large but should not go to waste! I find if I have too much tomato sauce leftover, freezing it for the next time I make this rice works well. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!

Simple and delicious. I used Mexican-style hot tomato sauce for a little more kick and skipped the onions. Very tasty. Thank you :)

We had Mexican night Saturday and this was one of our recipes. Even though I had to make a few minor changes, it came out just like our favorite Mexican restaurant. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt and added half a cup of diced green pepper I needed to use up. I didn't have any tomato sauce so I used a can of diced tomatoes and all the juice. We all enjoyed it.

Like out of a good Mexican restaurant. This is easy and makes a great accompaniment to just about any main dish. I like to serve it with Cilantro-Lime Chicken.
