This Mexican rice is the perfect side to any Mexican dish.
I learned this recipe by watching my mother make it as a child. It's authentic and also simplified and still incredibly flavorful.

I think the background sound makes it so much more relatable and authentic. Us mommas cooking away as the kiddos wait for dinner. Your recipes are perfect!
You’re the only Hispanic that makes this just how I made it. Other Hispanic people I’ve seen on YT don’t put these spices in. Nice to see you doing it this way, thank you !
Looks delicious!
I LOVE cooking Mexican food and Mexican rice has always been hard for me to nail down. Not any more! From flavor to texture this recipe is amazing. Thank you for posting!!
Dude ! This rice is amazing ! I made it with dinner tonight and we all loved it. I swear to you I skipped eating the tamales altogether and just ate this rice with my chips and guacamole.
Miss Yesenia, we are two for two here with your recipes for Carne guisada and rice. Ooh, I can't wait to try out a few more !
Thank you so much for sharing with us. BTW, don't ever apologize for a tiny bit of background noise. That's real life ! The family is always doing something else while mama is cooking lol
Excellent! Best beef stew I've ever made, thank you so much for the recipe. And great job on the how to video 😊
Great recipe! I use the tomato flavored chicken bullion and it works great too. I will try your recipe also!
Looks good I was making a mistake by putting too tomato sauce in there thanks 🙏
I'm new and OH BOY I'm so lucky I found you by accident!! Yesenia, do you have a recipe for Arroz con pollo. PLEASE share. I LOVE ARROZ CON POLLO. I've tried other people's Arroz con pollo but it just doesn't taste right - not like my mom's. Unfortunately, my mother never taught me to cook so I'm a weird @$$ Mexican. I'm going to have to make your Arroz because it looks exactly like my mom's.
I’ve never made this rice homemade. I need to try because a couple of my boys like it.
We love your sticky rice! Let me know if you make it. 🙂
"...a couple of my boys..." Sounds as if you have dozens.
Yummy.but don't have the pepper is it possible to substitute
Nice recipe, I prefer bay leaves to cumin thou. Looks good
😉
Thanks!! I’ve never tried it with bay leaves! Now I need to try that! Lol
@@yeseniaskitchen yes, I think you'll like.

😉
Can you please advise me how many servings this makes. Thank you!
I couldn't discern--is the red ingredient tomato sauce, tomato paste or ketchup? Sorry if I missed it, but I have to know, lol!
Yes it’s tomato sauce 🙂💜
I try to put all the ingredients for my recipes in the description box. Let me know if you need help. 🙂
@@yeseniaskitchen Off topic, but where are you from? Love your videos. I hope my rice comes out as good as yours. Lol
I was looking for a way to substitute tomato paste for the sauce because I don't like opening a can of tomato sauce and using just a small amount and then not having a good use for the rest. I buy tomato paste in resealable tubes for the same reason. A little googling suggests I can use 2 TBSP tomato paste and 2 TBSP water as a substitute for the 4 TBSP of sauce. In fact, I looked at the ingredients on a can of tomato sauce and they show the first two ingredients as tomato paste and water! Then they add onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper. This recipe already includes onion and garlic so those are covered. I don't know that the small amount of red pepper in the sauce would even be missed. I suppose I could add a small dash of cayenne pepper.
@@davidh.4649 great info! I keep a tube of tomato paste in the fridge too! Very convenient. Thanks for the tip!
Do you ever add any vegetables to your rice?
