This rice is a good start, but it needs a little something more to be truly tasty. I loved it once I put sour cream, hot sauce, and shredded cheddar on it.

I followed this recipe to the T and the rice was not cooked. My family would not eat it. I'm thinking that i probably should have boiled the uncooked rice for at least 10 minutes. The recipe does not specify how long to boil it.

Good recipe. I added salt and pepper along with the cumin and chili powder, and substituted 1/2 can of tomato paste with tomato sauce. It was similar to the rice served at Mexican resteraunts.

I stumbled upon this recipe in my search for a simple side dish to use up the remainder of my can of tomato paste. While this was super easy to prepare, it was nothing really spectacular. Decent dish with OK flavour, but nothing I will rush to make again, there is another Mexican Rice on this site that we prefer, thanks anyway!

this was delicious! i accidentally added a bit too much of the chicken boullion (it fell out of the bag as i was pouring), but except for that it was great! i didn't measure out the spices, just did it by guessing, and i used mostly sweet paprika, otherwise it's too spicy... but it was good!

The thing missing with this to me is that the rice should be cooked a few minutes in the hot oil before the onions are done. Then the spices and tomato paste (do not substitute sauce) should be added and stirred around until the rice is a sticky mess. Then add the broth. The "frying" of the rice seems to keep it from getting mushy. Also, be sure your liquid level (including the liquids from the veggies/paste) are in line with what is recommended for the type of rice you are cooking. No idea how this would turn out with instant rice, but I hate the stuff so I am a bit biased. I also like to add some carrots (first) and some cilantro (after cooking), but to each his own.

This was simple and very good. I didn't have cummin so I used adobe seasoning. I also didn't have tomato paste so I used a can of stewed tomatoes chopped fine and two big squirts of ketchup. This is a keeper recipe, good for family get togethers. Thanks Elizabeth101

I used brown rice and tweaked the spices to taste. Tastes just like the Mexican Rice at our favorite Mexican Restaurant. Served this with Grilled Mexican Shrimp. No leftovers. Will make this a weekly side dish.

This was pretty good and will probably make again for an easy side dish for Mexican fare. However, it is very basic - I think it needed a little more spice or seasoning to perfect it. Thanks!

This recipe really was easy and made with ingredients right at hand. Instead of cumin I used coriander so the flavor was a little lemony. But I still thought it was great. Will make again.

Much better than the box!!! i left the same amount of cumin and put in about 4 tbsp of lemon juice. I didnt want to get out another dish so i left it in the sauce pan and it came out fine. Also i added some saffron and paprika to give it that lovely orange color without artificial dyes.

I have made this recipe now a few times and we love it! I also used tomato sauce instead of tomato paste. I also added 1 cup of black beans. The black beans really make this an outstanding side dish! This is a simple and very tasty dish. Perfect for serving with any mexican main dish!

This recipe was perfect. I followed the recipe as written, except I used 1 tsp of cumin instead of 1 Tbs. The flavor was fine to me but I could see how one might want to add more spices. I always end up with leftover tomato paste from other recipes, and this is a great way to use it up.

Great flavor. I love the Spanish rice mixes from the store but I did not have one for taco night so decided to try this. Glad I did because this is much better and easy!

This got rave reviews! I added a diced green pepper, halved the cumin but will add more chili powder next time. I sped thing up by cooking it in the microwave.

This was bland so I added mexican blend cheese and some salt and pepper. That did the trick for me. It was really good. Next time I will add some tomatoes and peppers. Oh and the cheese is a must. I might even try making a main dish with some taco seasoned ground beef in it. Thanks fo posting.
