The Secret To The Most Beautiful Mexican Rice
  1. Add your oil to a hot skillet over medium heat. Add in your rice. Fry for 4-5 mins until a nice golden brown color. Make sure to stir often.

  2. While the rice fries, add 1 c water, tomato, garlic, 1 tsp salt, and onion to your blender. Blend until a smooth sauce.

  3. Once your rice is ready add in tomato paste, cook for a min, while mixing vigorously to make sure it's mixed into the rice.

  4. Add in your sauce & mix well.

  5. Add 2 ½ c of water to your blender, swirl it around, and then pour into your pan as well. Give it a good stir. Adjust salt to taste.

  6. DONT TOUCH IT FROM THIS POINT ON!

  7. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Set a timer for 15 mins. It's gonna take 15-20 mins, but I always check around 15.

  8. Once all the rice has evaporated & the rice is nice & soft it's done!

  9. Give it a good fluff, serve with your fav dishes, and enjoy babe!
