So good! I double the recipe. I first had the oill, added onions, garlic, green peppers and the rice. Let it cook for a couple of minutes and only then added the spices, a little extra actually and added salt. I believe that made the taste stand out so much more. I used a can of zesty corn medley even though I had frozen corn. It was spicy but tasty. Beautiful colors.

Used all the ingredients, but varied the process. I cooked the rice in the broth, liquid from the Rotel tomatoes, and spices. Sauteed the onion and red and green pepper, stirred in the tomatoes and chile mix and thawed corn. After the rice was finished, combines. Delicious!

Good recipe. Agree with others that it needs a little extra kick, maybe a dash of cayene pepper. Adding the tomatoes while the rice cooks makes it less soupy. Shredded cheese or sour cream make nice additions too.

What a tasty rice dish! Be warned, it makes a pile because of the added veggies. The beans / veggies are a great addition though and are a nice change.

I enjoyed the flavor of this rice. This is a great way to make rice besides the regular way!! Awesome recipe!! I thought it was better than the store brought recipe. The only thing different I did was, because I don't care for the veggies, I add a few tablespoons of tomatoe paste in place of diced tomatoes, used dry onions in place of fresh onions and only poured the green chile juice in rice (did not add whole chilies). I also added red pepper flakes instead of green peppers. I still add frozen corn and black beans. Everything else stayed the same. Other than that I enjoyed this rice. Thanks!!

I also think it definitely needed more flavor. As suggested by reviewers next time I will double the cumin and turmeric, add some cayenne and chili powder and maybe cilantro or lime juice. I also used a can of corn instead of frozen. I didn't use the whole can, thought it was too much. A really good recipe if you tweak it and healthy too!!
