I'm 84 and have Mexican ladies who taught me how to cook like you. They are no longer with us, now i have you. What i love is how you ladies love to share your talent for cooking. Retired to Hawaii Aloha
I cant tell you how many times I have tried and failed to make Mexican rice. I dont know what it was- I followed my mothers steps exactly. I took my sisters advice. Ive even called on my brothers for helpful tips. Nothing- straight poop. For YEARS. Rice was usually too mushy.. or not enough flavor..always something. I gave up. Until I found your video. I figured why not? Shes either full of it, or she may actually know what shes talking about. Well I'll be damned.. i followed your instructions exactly and my rice was phenomenal! I made it and remade it 4 days in a row!! Amazing each time. I dont know what it was or how you did it but your video is magic and turned my food Amazing! Thank you and looking forward to watching more videos!
Just came on to say I FEEL YOUR PAIN. Tried to make Mexican rice yesterday for a dinner party, using the Instant Pot. And failed--twice. Rice was mushy and gross. I'm stumped. On here now researching new recipes to see what to do differently next time. Bc: NEVER AGAIN! I have bookmarked this page and will be returning the next time I want to make Mexican rice. :)
I have a friend who is Mexican heritage whose mom was a wonderful cook. She has a terrible time making Mexican rice, too, so I shared this video with her.
My goodness Rachel, you nearly have half a million subscribers now! You deserve every bit of your success because you're the best cooking teacher on YT. 👏🏾👍🥳
Rachel keeps it real and goes through every step for people like me who are amateur cooks. Absolutely the best cooking channel anywhere and hopefully she gets picked up by the Food Network!
@@Mr_Mojo_Risin: I've quit TV and stopped watching the Food Network years ago when they started with those food 'game shows.' But I agree, Rachel has all the talents I look for in a cooking demonstration show. None better on YT, imo. Have you tried her Cinnamon Rolls yet?? 🏆❤
I have always wanted to make Mexican rice correctly. My brother would make it real quick with tomato sauce and onions. I think TINA pretty good, but I tried it, and I couldn’t get it just right. I am so grateful to be taught how to make the Mexican rice correctly! Thank you so much beautiful woman.
I too would absolutely buy a cookbook!! A CD or USB of video is also a good idea and I would buy it for any price!! It would be like having mom here telling me how to cook! ❤👍
I grew up on arroz and frijoles my mom was from Chihuahua and I cannot make my rice taste as good as hers! That said, you have a different recipe which I hope will make my rice tastier! Please publish a cookbook!
I made this rice last night and my husband raved and raved about it. He requested a "rice burrito" in his lunch today. Lol We definitely have a new rice recipe, thank you!
I’m giving you the FIRST THUMBS UP even before I watch this video because A) You are such a Beautiful Soul, B) Your cooking and recipes are the Bees’ Knees and C) I love your calming and caring voice. If I lived in your State I’d be stopping by with some Treats! Get your Coffee Pot on! Lol ❤❤❤
We tried this twice. The first time I did not strain the sauce, it was too strong of onion and tomato flavors. The second time it was PERFECT! I followed the recipe exactly...12 min. to brown the rice on med/low, 17 min. to cook on low, and leave it covered off heat. (I got busy making your beef enchiladas and did not "Fluff" it for 30 min. but it was soft and delicious!!!) NOTE: Your enchilada sauce is Absolutely THE VERY BEST!!! I've made it with chicken, beans, cheese and onion, and now ground beef, we LOVE it! Thank you for the detailed and patient instruction. I never dreamed I could cook such a fabulous meal until I watched your videos.
I'm making the rice and beef enchiladas at the same time right now! Rice is at the resting point and enchiladas are on their last 10 in the oven, can't wait to taste this meal!
Definately don't add the salt or buillin till you mix everything in the rice ! We all have different sazòn ! Even if portions are the same, never understood why, maybe is the stove, the skillet, 🤷🤷 but it never comes out the same
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Johnson David from Oslo Norway, where are you from if I may ask?🥰🥰❤
I made this for a family dinner… I got so many compliments. I’ve just made another batch right now, just waiting the last 15 minutes so I can dig in. I Love you Rachel!
You are an angel! I’ve made Mexican rice for years but it never turns out fluffy! I use tomato sauce like my mom did, but I’m anxious to try it with the bullion. Thank you for explaining what to look for while it’s cooking too! I can see where I’ve been going wrong thanks to your explanation. It’s what I love most about your videos.
Your methods are so similar to mine and my ancestors who r no longer here. Thank you. Let’s hope our Hispanic recipes go on for new generations to come. ( from South Tx)
I made your flour tortillas and Mexican rice along with steak fajitas for dinner tonight. My husband gave them a chef's kiss and said everything was delicious. Thank you for helping me accomplish making these recipes!
My stepmother made some bizarre concoction she called “Mexican Rice” when I was a teen, and I refused to eat it. Thank goodness for people like you who share phenomenal, authentic recipes. I’m so excited to incorporate this into our staple meals!
I've always struggled to find a good Mexican rice recipe. This is it! Wow Rachel, you did it again for me! I've been enjoying your cabbage and bacon recipe at least once a week. Amazing! Your cinnamon rolls are incredible! Absolutely the best RUclips subscription I've joined. Thank you
I too love the cabbage and bacon recipe and you should try out her Apple Fritters! Out of this world. I made some to take to work and they were gone in seconds!!! Gotta be quick hahaha
I was hoping you would do a Mexican rice video. I absolutely love it! I so appreciate your step by step instructions. I’m so thankful I found your channel. I’m thoroughly enjoying every single video. Your recipes are fantastic! Blessings to you and your Ron.
Rachel, I made this tonight, and it came our perfect. I have never had luck cooking any type of rice on the stove, but this was a huge success for me. The flavor is perfect, as is the texture. Thank you for making this direct, and easy to follow.
You must be a mind reader. I’m planning tomorrow night’s dinner and came on to look for Mexican rice recipes. This is the second time this has happened. All of your recipes are the best and so are you. ❤
Miss Rachel, you are such a pleasure to watch and listen to…your explanations are so clear and easy to follow, too! I would love to try this delicious recipe for Mexican rice! It’s all the little extra touches that make your recipes so good. Oh, and also the love you add! 🥰♥️👍Have a wonderful week, my friend! Hello to Mr. Ron! Meline
Miss Rachel. GOD Bless You!!! How long I've been looking for a person to teach me how to cook authentic Mexican food. I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD! You are truly a blessing on this earth. Thankyou for the stories of cooking with your mom and tia. Our family loves watching your teaching videos.
The flavor!! Oh my gosh, the flavor is knock your socks off good! Thank you, Rachel. My mother passed last year and she tried to teach me how to make her rice but she was always "a little of this and a little of that" and it never turned out right. I just followed your recipe and it's amazing....maybe even better than hers but you didn't here me say that. Cooking this makes me feel closer to her now that she's gone. Thanks so much. ❤
There are some things I make that are really good, this was unreal. For those in the lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada, Don Chendo has the quality tomatillo, puyo, guajillo and ancho chiles beyond compare and made the recipe shine. Thank you so much, it's the food of love.
Rachel, thank you so much for this recipe! I have wanted it all my life. I have tried so many different ones, and made up my own recipes too, but this is the real deal! Thanks again! 😊
Lucky for me as a rice lover I learned about KNORR chicken/tomato bouillon base from a Mexican friend. Yes it is the best additive for your rice recipe. Cumin is a must. I’ll do it your way next time.
I like how you simplify everything and make it easy. My adhd doesn’t let me sit and watch technical videos with millions of instructions lol Thank You!!
Yes yes yes! Rachel also shows how to make authentic refried beans! Rachel I just love your videos. You simplify everything. I have tried so many new things thanks to you.
Thank you Rachel for being on RUclips. I’ve been looking for someone like you for a long time to teach me how to do things the way it supposed to be done to come out the way restaurants and families make them your recipes are awesome.❤️❌⭕️🙏📿
Hi Rachel! I love your videos. I brown my rice for about 3 minutes then add my onions & brown for about a couple of minutes. Then add my tomato sauce, HOT water & all of my spices (including Caldo de pollo) stir well. Bring it to a rolling boil for about a minute or two then lower my heat to lowest setting cover and don't open for about 15 minutes. I'm the official rice maker in my Chicano family & they love love love it!
Rachel you are the best cook and my kitchen hero! Thank you for your videos and sharing them. I am learning to cook the dishes I grew up with. How often I wish I took notes on how my mother RIP cooked those Mexican dishes but sadly she took those life time of cooking skills to her grave. You inspire me to be a good cook. Thanks again- Tim in MI
Thank you so much for your comment Tim, I try my best to keep up with comments, so I’m sorry for the late response. I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe and I hope you continue to enjoy it. Blessings my friend.❤
Sending the most heartfelt thanks to you! I love your teaching style, I feel like you're my mom!! I never got to experience learning to cook from my mom or grandma, you're recipes and little touches of wisdom are GOLD:)) Muchas gracias!!!
Rachel, I have always wanted to make at home a delicious Mexican rice side dish. This is it!! Thank you for your sharing your kitchen experience. I will be trying more of your recipes 😊
Rachel, I love you woman. I am African American, but I have FOUR grandchildren who are half Mexican and I love fixing them dishes from that side of their culture. Their mother is very impressed I am able to cook Mexican dishes so well. Thank you for assisting me..😊❤
Rachel you read my mind. I was going to scroll to see if you had a mexican rice receipt and bam!!! You pop one up :) Thank you so much for all you do for us, but taking the time to teach us these great recipes! I agree with Cody, the cabbage and bacon and cinnamon rolls are delish! ❤
I’m so happy I found your channel. I can’t explain how impressed I am with your recipes but how much it reminds me of my childhood and family. As my mother would say, Californianos-the original Mexican families of California. Proud to say my grandmother knew the Sepulvedas, Verdugos and Feliz families of Los Angeles ( San Fernando Valley) back in the day. Miss my mom and grandma. 68 y/o divorced man. Thank you so much!
So glad you posted this yummy recipe with no carrots, lol. I don"t know why some restaurants insists on putting carrots in their rice, yours looks excellent and yummy. Thank you.
Believe it or not, I do love carrots in my rice because it adds a pinch of sweetness which is a perfect combination with the other ingredients (sweet and savory) but it is optional. Thank you so much for your comment my friend. ❤️
Made my first Mexican rice 1 year ago for the homeless in our local park. I was asked to make it since I participated in the cooking the meal every Sunday. The cumin is the important ingredients plus of course the tips you've shared with us. Thank you, now I could make a better Mexican rice!
I have tried several Mexican rice recipes that claim to be “the best and authentic.” Nothing was that great. But your recipe was exactly what I was looking for. So delicious and perfect! I’ve already made it 5 times since I found it a month ago. Thank you!
First time watching her channel not even one minute in and already love everything about her. So welcoming and kind. Her vibe is everything 🙌🏼 looking forward to seeing all your videos! 🫶🏽
Good morning Rachel, I've been a fan of your cooking videos for several years,(from the very beginning) I've noticed you deleted quite a few older videos, the beans w/ham hock, the chicken noodle soup w/amish noodle your bread video and your 1st flour tortilla video where you used crisco (about the size of egg). I personally follow your videos while making the recipe - it makes me feel like I am cooking along with you. Your recipes never disappoint. I do have to say, I am a fan of your older videos , that include personal story like the one about your Dad saying that the tortillas don't need to be perfectly round because they will eaten anyway. Love that one cuz my tortillas don't seem to come out round but they are delicious (follow your old recipe). Will any of the old videos make a come back? Will you consider including those old videos should you do a CD compilation of your cooking videos for purchase
This is the best Mexican rice I’ve ever had & I made it. Thank you so much for this recipe video. My wife said it was better than any restaurant in town!
Made this rice with Birria tacos. Unfortunately, I only had (canned) petite dice tomatoes on hand, but I followed all other instructions. I multiplied the recipe to 2.5 cups of rice (we have a big family and like to have leftovers). In addition to the tomato/onion mixture I added in an additional 4 cups of liquid (including broth). This was very similar to our favorite Mexican restaurant rice, EXCEPT BETTER!!! This was literally the best Mexican rice I have ever made or eaten in my entire life. Keep the recipes coming Rachel!
I made birria for the first time recently…won’t be the last…bought dried peppers in bulk lol. this will probably be the first Mexican rice recipe I try
Great video Rachel! That's the way I was taught to make rice from the Mexican kitchens of friends and neighbors in SW Detroit. You gave me some good pointers to make it even better.
Hey Rachel! Thanks a million for this recipe (and all your recipes)! I love Mexican rice and have not found a good enough recipe until YOURS! I love your videos please keep 'em coming!
Rachel, thank you so much for sharing your talents with everyone. I enjoy your channel so much. I lived in southern California most of my life and now live in Montana, you cannot get authentic Mexican food in a restaurant out here like we used to get there. It makes it nice to be able to have instructions on how to make the food we know and love at home. God bless you and your family and all the endeavors in your heart abundantly.
Thank you so much! I have made Mexican food my whole life growing up in Southern California born in Tx. You have taken my food to the next level. I’ve just finished making this rice for the third time. Soooooo good! I’m in love with the enchilada sauce It’s the best I’ve ever had. And so many more. Your Ron is one lucky man but so is my wife. Thank you again. Big hugs to you. Dan❤
Please don't take this the wrong way... But... It's so refreshing to see latina women making and sharing Mexican food recipes on line rather than watching caucasian women with no Mexican heritage dominating the online presences making Mexican food. It may sound bad but...there is a reason why we go to eat Mexican food at Mexican restaurants and not Mexican food at non Mexican restaurants. Thank you for being authentic and for sharing your authentic family recipes. I am now a subscriber😊
Awesome 🤩 Very excited to use your recipe with basmati rice! My mom used to make Spanish rice - looked very similar, but I never had the recipe. Your recipes that I have tried are always excellent therefore this Mexican rice recipe will undoubtedly be a winner 🏆. Thank you as always 🙏
Every single recipe she make reminds me when I was a young girl. Absolutely delicious Rachel. This rice turned out perfectly cooked. I cook my rice for 20 minutes. (We're always learning) so I will try 17 minutes. I can't wait to taste the texture. Thx 😊
Oh my goodness I enjoy your cooking videos so much. I love to cook but watching you has helped me become a better cook. Thank you and I look forward to the next video. Sharing your channel with friends . Yummy!
Stumbled onto your channel when looking for a good Mexican Rice recipe for my husband and daughter, who are Mexican. After following your recipe exactly, I was nervous about serving this to my famiy. My hubby absolutely loved it and said it reminded him of his Nina's rice.. ❤ My daughter said it was the best Mexican rice she's ever had! You def now have a loyal follower Miss Rachel! Thank you!! ❤❤
I love watching you cook. You cook old school the best way. Its becoming a lost art and because of you Rachel your keeping these wonderful recipes alive . love your record that's the foods I grew up with and I'm in my 70's.
Great video Rachael, easy to understand. You explain every step and have the recipe written out. Thank you so much, I will definitely try this recipe. 😊
I Really Really love you for making this. I'll make it and never forget you. I'm a quarter Mexican and my Wonderful Grandpa would be so proud of me. Rest in Heaven Grandpa. Thank you Angel your the best.
Rice looks delicious! Love, love all your recipes. I made a few of them. You are a fabulous cook and I like how you go step by step on all your recipes. Makes it so much easier. Thank you. . . .❤
Rachel, thank you for your videos. You are a great cook and you present your content so well. Very simple steps to follow and you give thorough explanations for your techniques. I just watched your video for Mexican rice and I will not only make it using your methods from now on, but I will also make sure to rinse my rice beforehand! This was a wonderful addition to white creamy chicken enchiladas! Thank you so much!
Oh Rachel, I made your Mexican Rice and it was fantastic - so tasty, fluffy and easy to make! My sister, who lives next door and is on Keto, about lost her mind over the wonderful smell! Lol! I think I’m going to make some of your enchiladas and refried beans this weekend. Thanks for the videos to encourage those of us intimidated by Mexican cooking. Love you darlin’. From an Ohio foodie.
I'm Mexican and there are so many different ways that people make rice. I don't make mine like this and also do not use bouillion as it has tons of sodium. I use natural vegetable broth instead. I also use stewed tomatoes--perfect for the broth and I squeeze out the juice from the tomatoes and it's perfect. Have never used pepper or cumin, but like I said, everyone makes it differently. Thank you for your version :)
I have made this rice several times and it is beyond delicious!! I could just eat it by itself! My son in law tried it recently and said it was the best mexican rice he has ever had :) Thank you so much for your amazing recipes!
I was hoping I'd find this recipe here. Everything you make is perfect. I've been trying for 30 years to make good mexican rice and fail every time. Yours is the winner again! Thank you. Thumbs up to your recipe, your excellent tutorials, and to you. Lucky Ron! That's all I can say!
I'm 84 and have Mexican ladies who taught me how to cook like you. They are no longer with us, now i have you. What i love is how you ladies love to share your talent for cooking. Retired to Hawaii Aloha
Thank you for getting right to the point and not spending so much time talking about things that don't matter. I'll definitely be watching more.
Rachel should be on television. You are so nice and make your viewers feel like family. You are such a talented cook. Thank you for being you!
Wow, thank you!❤️

Rachel you are the best cook and my kitchen hero! Thank you for your videos and sharing them. I am learning to cook the dishes I grew up with. How often I wish I took notes on how my mother RIP cooked those Mexican dishes but sadly she took those life time of cooking skills to her grave. You inspire me to be a good cook. Thanks again- Tim in MI
Thank you so much for your comment Tim, I try my best to keep up with comments, so I’m sorry for the late response. I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe and I hope you continue to enjoy it. Blessings my friend.❤
Sending the most heartfelt thanks to you! I love your teaching style, I feel like you're my mom!! I never got to experience learning to cook from my mom or grandma, you're recipes and little touches of wisdom are GOLD:)) Muchas gracias!!!
Rachel, I have always wanted to make at home a delicious Mexican rice side dish. This is it!! Thank you for your sharing your kitchen experience. I will be trying more of your recipes 😊
Rachel, I love you woman. I am African American, but I have FOUR grandchildren who are half Mexican and I love fixing them dishes from that side of their culture. Their mother is very impressed I am able to cook Mexican dishes so well. Thank you for assisting me..😊❤
Rachel you read my mind. I was going to scroll to see if you had a mexican rice receipt and bam!!! You pop one up :) Thank you so much for all you do for us, but taking the time to teach us these great recipes! I agree with Cody, the cabbage and bacon and cinnamon rolls are delish! ❤
I’m so happy I found your channel. I can’t explain how impressed I am with your recipes but how much it reminds me of my childhood and family.
As my mother would say, Californianos-the original Mexican families of California. Proud to say my grandmother knew the Sepulvedas, Verdugos and Feliz families of Los Angeles ( San Fernando Valley) back in the day.
Miss my mom and grandma.

Thank you so much!
So glad you posted this yummy recipe with no carrots, lol. I don"t know why some restaurants insists on putting carrots in their rice, yours looks excellent and yummy. Thank you.
Believe it or not, I do love carrots in my rice because it adds a pinch of sweetness which is a perfect combination with the other ingredients (sweet and savory) but it is optional. Thank you so much for your comment my friend. ❤️
Made my first Mexican rice 1 year ago for the homeless in our local park. I was asked to make it since I participated in the cooking the meal every Sunday. The cumin is the important ingredients plus of course the tips you've shared with us. Thank you, now I could make a better Mexican rice!
I have tried several Mexican rice recipes that claim to be “the best and authentic.” Nothing was that great. But your recipe was exactly what I was looking for. So delicious and perfect! I’ve already made it 5 times since I found it a month ago. Thank you!
The best recipe for Mexican rice ever 😊
Thank you so much, I appreciate your comment my friend. ❤️
First time watching her channel not even one minute in and already love everything about her. So welcoming and kind. Her vibe is everything 🙌🏼 looking forward to seeing all your videos! 🫶🏽
Good morning Rachel, I've been a fan of your cooking videos for several years,(from the very beginning) I've noticed you deleted quite a few older videos, the beans w/ham hock, the chicken noodle soup w/amish noodle your bread video and your 1st flour tortilla video where you used crisco (about the size of egg). I personally follow your videos while making the recipe - it makes me feel like I am cooking along with you. Your recipes never disappoint. I do have to say, I am a fan of your older videos , that include personal story like the one about your Dad saying that the tortillas don't need to be perfectly round because they will eaten anyway. Love that one cuz my tortillas don't seem to come out round but they are delicious (follow your old recipe). Will any of the old videos make a come back? Will you consider including those old videos should you do a CD compilation of your cooking videos for purchase
Thank you Rachel! I really appreciate all the cooking tips. I followed your instructions and my rice came out exceptional.
I love your cinnamon roll recipe, I've been wanting to tell you that for quite some time. Thank you so much for it.
I'm so happy to know you enjoy it my friend. Thank you so much. ❤️
This is the best Mexican rice I’ve ever had & I made it. Thank you so much for this recipe video. My wife said it was better than any restaurant in town!
I’m so happy you have your new gas stove. Yeah! I got my new one too. Just today. I love your rice and I’m happy that you like Knorr as I do.
Made this rice with Birria tacos. Unfortunately, I only had (canned) petite dice tomatoes on hand, but I followed all other instructions. I multiplied the recipe to 2.5 cups of rice (we have a big family and like to have leftovers). In addition to the tomato/onion mixture I added in an additional 4 cups of liquid (including broth). This was very similar to our favorite Mexican restaurant rice, EXCEPT BETTER!!! This was literally the best Mexican rice I have ever made or eaten in my entire life. Keep the recipes coming Rachel!
I made birria for the first time recently…won’t be the last…bought dried peppers in bulk lol. this will probably be the first Mexican rice recipe I try
Great video Rachel! That's the way I was taught to make rice from the Mexican kitchens of friends and neighbors in SW Detroit. You gave me some good pointers to make it even better.
You're welcome my friend, thank you so much. ❤️
You are totally professional, yet so personal and down to earth. I feel like you're very religious. It shows. God bless you
YAY! I too love rice with everything. I can’t wait to add this to my next delicious recipe from Rachel
You cook so gracefully! You when serve yourself gracefully! Thank you for the video. I will be making this rice soon!
Hey Rachel! Thanks a million for this recipe (and all your recipes)! I love Mexican rice and have not found a good enough recipe until YOURS! I love your videos please keep 'em coming!
Rachel, thank you so much for sharing your talents with everyone. I enjoy your channel so much. I lived in southern California most of my life and now live in Montana, you cannot get authentic Mexican food in a restaurant out here like we used to get there. It makes it nice to be able to have instructions on how to make the food we know and love at home. God bless you and your family and all the endeavors in your heart abundantly.
Thank you Rachel for sharing this recipe!and I love 😍 it!
You're welcome my friend, thank you so much. ❤️
Thank you so much! I have made Mexican food my whole life growing up in Southern California born in Tx. You have taken my food to the next level. I’ve just finished making this rice for the third time. Soooooo good! I’m in love with the enchilada sauce It’s the best I’ve ever had. And so many more. Your Ron is one lucky man but so is my wife. Thank you again. Big hugs to you. Dan❤
Hello sweet lady…thank you for sharing this tutorial….I learn something new every day watching you. 👍
This is my go to recipe for this style of rice. Thank you so much Rachel for sharing this recipe!
Rachel, the rice looks delicious, I am making this recipe for my husband tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your recipes!
You're welcome my friend, just followcthe recipe carefully and itll be delicious. Thank you. ❤️
Thank you Rachel
The one thing I wish I learned with my mom while she was alive.
🙏🙏🕊️🕊️
Always had a problem making the perfect Mexican rice. Going to try this method next time, thank you.
Hope you enjoy my friend. ❤️👍
Please don't take this the wrong way...
But... It's so refreshing to see latina women making and sharing Mexican food recipes on line rather than watching caucasian women with no Mexican heritage dominating the online presences making Mexican food.
It may sound bad but...there is a reason why we go to eat Mexican food at Mexican restaurants and not Mexican food at non Mexican restaurants.
Thank you for being authentic and for sharing your authentic family recipes.
I am now a subscriber😊
Awesome 🤩 Very excited to use your recipe with basmati rice! My mom used to make Spanish rice - looked very similar, but I never had the recipe. Your recipes that I have tried are always excellent therefore this Mexican rice recipe will undoubtedly be a winner 🏆. Thank you as always 🙏
It'll be delicious my friend, thank you so much. ❤️
Every single recipe she make reminds me when I was a young girl. Absolutely delicious Rachel. This rice turned out perfectly cooked. I cook my rice for 20 minutes. (We're always learning) so I will try 17 minutes. I can't wait to taste the texture. Thx 😊
WOW. That looks so perfect and so yummy!❤
Oh my goodness I enjoy your cooking videos so much. I love to cook but watching you has helped me become a better cook. Thank you and I look forward to the next video. Sharing your channel with friends . Yummy!
Stumbled onto your channel when looking for a good Mexican Rice recipe for my husband and daughter, who are Mexican. After following your recipe exactly, I was nervous about serving this to my famiy. My hubby absolutely loved it and said it reminded him of his Nina's rice.. ❤ My daughter said it was the best Mexican rice she's ever had! You def now have a loyal follower Miss Rachel! Thank you!! ❤❤
I love watching you cook. You cook old school the best way. Its becoming a lost art and because of you Rachel your keeping these wonderful recipes alive . love your record that's the foods I grew up with and I'm in my 70's.

You must be psychic, because I've JUST been looking for a Mexican rice recipe (with no meat). This is perfect! Thanks a million. :o)
So was l! It’s why I came onto RUclips.
Rice looks delicious! Love, love all your recipes. I made a few of them. You are a fabulous cook and I like how you go step by step on all your recipes. Makes it so much easier. Thank you. . . .❤
Rachel, thank you for your videos. You are a great cook and you present your content so well. Very simple steps to follow and you give thorough explanations for your techniques. I just watched your video for Mexican rice and I will not only make it using your methods from now on, but I will also make sure to rinse my rice beforehand! This was a wonderful addition to white creamy chicken enchiladas! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your comment my friend, I hope you enjoy it. ❤️👍
You are the best!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the great teaching and the best tasting Mexican food!
Oh Rachel, I made your Mexican Rice and it was fantastic - so tasty, fluffy and easy to make! My sister, who lives next door and is on Keto, about lost her mind over the wonderful smell! Lol! I think I’m going to make some of your enchiladas and refried beans this weekend. Thanks for the videos to encourage those of us intimidated by Mexican cooking. Love you darlin’. From an Ohio foodie.
Thank you so much for your comment, I’m glad you enjoyed it my friend.❤️
I finally made your Mexican rice. The best rice dish I have ever tasted! My Ron absolutely loves it. Thank you so much!!!❤
Looks so delicious ❤
Made this tonight for my family and they loved it. Thanks love your recipes
My rice and chicken today was Amazing 😋😘
Yay!!! So happy to know this.❤️
I made this rice today. Delicious with flavor.
Thanks Rachel
If you use two cups rice, do you double all the ingredients?
Of course
?
Just double all
I double everything and it is delicious
Rachel you have been Such a BLESSING love watching you cook your BEAUTIFUL yummy dishes
I'm Mexican and there are so many different ways that people make rice. I don't make mine like this and also do not use bouillion as it has tons of sodium. I use natural vegetable broth instead. I also use stewed tomatoes--perfect for the broth and I squeeze out the juice from the tomatoes and it's perfect. Have never used pepper or cumin, but like I said, everyone makes it differently. Thank you for your version :)
This is here to teach you if you don't like it you shouldn't be here 😮
@@jennifer134 Are you really that dense?
I have made this rice several times and it is beyond delicious!! I could just eat it by itself! My son in law tried it recently and said it was the best mexican rice he has ever had :) Thank you so much for your amazing recipes!
I viewed many about this recipe. I think yours is the best that I'm going to follow. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you more success.
I was hoping I'd find this recipe here. Everything you make is perfect. I've been trying for 30 years to make good mexican rice and fail every time. Yours is the winner again! Thank you. Thumbs up to your recipe, your excellent tutorials, and to you. Lucky Ron! That's all I can say!
Thank you Rachel, I've made soo many of your recipes...reminds me of my Mom❤...love all the way around...
You make it look so easy. Thank yoi.
