How to Make Mexican Rice

[Politcalamity]

From Texas, good mexican food is hard to find where I live now up north, so I make a lot of my own. This recipe looks wonderful, I am trying it tonight.

Do you have a video that shows how to make flour tortillas or corn tortillas from scratch?

[pastryparrot1]

@Politcalamity Awesome! I hope it comes out perfect for you. I do not have a tortilla video but will be making one soon. Thanks!

[Politcalamity]

@pastryparrot1 It did, the rice is perfect.  Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[MarciaSpen]

I have always made the boxes of Spanish rice and enjoy it but as yet I have not found a recipe that taste as good, I would love a recipe I can make that is less expensive as a box of Spanish rice. I am going to try yours and hope it is full of flavor like the boxed one

[pastryparrot1]

@MarciaSpen Thanks! I suspect the boxed one has more seasonings and salt. I hope this one works out great for you!

[stephany1800]

[pastryparrot1]

@stephany1800 Thank you for watching.

[lakegirl645]

@stephany1800 How do you make it without stirring it? Can your mom do a video for us, that'd be great. :)

[pastryparrot1]

@Mattthemangler Thank you for coming by!

[mikeaa000]

Your really hottttt.

[Esunmar]

Just made it. I must, nice tutorial. :) The one thing, I wasn't sure how much olive oil to use but it came out nice. And I took off a little too early so there's leftover broth that gives it an unwanted greasy feel, but that's just my mistake. XD Gracias, la senorita simpatica. (Did I say that correctly?)

[pastryparrot1]

@Esunmar I am so happy this worked for you! Thank you for letting me know. Gracias, senorita simpatica w/o the 'la' is correct! Thanks again!

[ambermay2]

[PinupRoxy20]

Thanks for the video:) i made this and turned out PERFECT!!! will be using your recipies from now on!!:)

[PimmpDaddyCrystal]

this is not mexican rice . just because u add jalapenio.

[pastryparrot1]

@PimmpDaddyCrystal Okey dokey. Thank you for coming by. Have a great weekend!

[Tewrobert]

@PimmpDaddyCrystal So please tell us what would it take to make it Mexican Rice? Would we have to cut up a mexican and cook him in the rice? Please tell us....We are all ears....Idiot.

Good video, best Mexican rice video on the net.. You Rock Girl :) Thanks for sharing....

[pastryparrot1]

@Tewrobert Thank you very much! I am happy you like this!

[xxtaurusladyxx]

YUMMY! I can never make rice right. It always turns out mushy:/ Maybe I need a taller pot like yours? Looks amazing!

[pastryparrot1]

@xxtaurusladyxx I don't know what pot you are using but I find that the reason rice comes out mushy is because it has too much liquid. Maybe you can reduce the liquid by 1/8th of a cup and see how it goes. If you find you need a little more simply add it after you test it. Does this make sense? I hope you have a great day!

[pastryparrot1]

@xxtaurusladyxx By after you test it I mean after you have cooked it. Fluff it with a fork and see how it is doing.

[ldyxblaze]

@xxtaurusladyxx your adding too much water

[maloni]

thank you for sharing...love it!

[pastryparrot1]

@maloni You are very welcome! Thank you for coming by!

[ItsShayTime]

oh my goodness, definitely subscribed!<33 im so hungry, i NEED to make my mom make all of this food for me! :D

[pastryparrot1]

@ItsShayTime Thank you! I appreciate it! Have a wonderful day!

[1020Shane]

i tried to make it but my rice came out a little hard...maybe i should add more stock next time.

[pastryparrot1]

@1020Shane Some times your burner is not low enough and the liquid steams away too fast. In that case the rice will be a little hard. I have had stoves that are hard to regulate so I needed to keep a close eye on the rice and, yes, add a little more liquid. Sorry this was not perfect for you. Have a wonderful week!

[shair00]

would you be against adding some el pato to this recipe?

[pastryparrot1]

@shair00 I am sorry but I do not know what 'el pato' is. Can you enlighten me? Thanks for coming by!

[Tr1ckyFox]

@shair00 YEah YOu can iuf you like tha taste :D VIVA MEXICO

[fern3634]

WHAT IS THIS ? THIS IS NOT SPANISH RICE1 NOT BROWNED ENOUGH , WHERE IS THE GROUND COMINO? AND THE GREEN BELL PEPPER? CHICKEN BULLION? FRESH TOMATO ? SORRY

[pastryparrot1]

@fern3634 Thank you for coming by. I am happy you have your way of making your own rice. This is my way and it is very, very good. I never cook with boullion because it has MSG. Not good for you. Don't be sorry. It is great that the world has different ways of making things. Have a fantastic weekend!

[DimeDiva321]

@pastryparrot1 can this work with brown rice? Lately ive been on a diet and im substituting certain foods for healthy choices. Like wheat bread instead of white bread, so yea can you tell me if it will taste good with brown rice?

[pastryparrot1]

@DimeDiva321 Honestly, I have never made this with brown rice. I guess the only way to know is to give it a go. Thank you for coming by!

[xspartanX3x]

I am hungry :)

[pastryparrot1]

@xspartanX3x Thanks for watching! Have a great day!

[pastryparrot1]

@funfunsun2 I am sorry to hear this. Any idea what went wrong?

[cheeseburger9418]

Help me out! How long do you have to keep it boiled before you can turn off the fire and steam it for 20 minutes??? Please reply! 1 second ago

[pastryparrot1]

@cheeseburger9418 Oh no . . . I just found this one! Well, I know you made it work already! Thank you very much!

[avon2891]

[pastryparrot1]

@avon2891 Great! I hope it comes out wonderful for you! Thank you for coming by!

[LouieRocks88]

Does anyone know how long you should cook the rice before adding the tomato sauce? Time wise? Or at least an estimate? Thanks!!

[pastryparrot1]

@LouieRocks88 You should be fine between 3 to 4 minutes. That should be enough for your rice to be browned. Thank you for coming by!

[LouieRocks88]

@pastryparrot1 Alright thanks! I made some yesterday and i gotta say it was quite delish!! Thanks!!

[pastryparrot1]

@LouieRocks88 Awesome!

[thbklover2010]

Hi, I have a question or two.. What is chicken broth and do you HAVE TO add it to your rice, or is it just a way that you make it? .. Thanks!

[pastryparrot1]

@thbklover2010 Chicken broth is like a chicken soup with only the concentrated liquid. No veggies or chicken. You can definitely only use water for this. The chicken stock gives it some flavor but you will be fine with the tomato. Thanks so much for coming by!

[damartin1503]

That looks good. Haven't made spanish/mexican rice in a long time. now im going to make it for the rest of my work week :)

[pastryparrot1]

@damartin1503 Great! I hope you love it! Thanks for watching!

[refinnej2011]

yummmm that looks great! i always loved mexican food! great flavor, im just missing the chicken broth...so ill have to make it next week

[pastryparrot1]

@refinnej2011 Go ahead and try it out with water. It will be fine. Make sure you adjust the salt. Thanks for coming by and good luck! Have a great week!

[anp2795]

IS THERE ANY RECIEPIE THAT CAN MAKE MEXICAN RISE LIKE HOW THE MEXICAN RESTRAUNT MAKES IT?

[pastryparrot1]

@anp2795 You might have to go to your favorite restaurant and ask them for their recipe. Thanks for coming by.

[harrymaynard]

How do you get the rice to not be sticky?

[pastryparrot1]

@harrymaynard You need to make sure you are not using too much liquid. That will definitely do the trick! Thanks for watching!

[MegaSweetheart5]

i made this last week .. i served it with beans and baked mashed potato

[pastryparrot1]

@MegaSweetheart5 I hope it was wonderful! Thank you very much for letting me know!

[emiliemontoya]

every time i make rice it comes out watery and mushy can you tell me what im doing wrong i do like you just did thanks....

[pastryparrot1]

@emiliemontoya I have a feeling your liquid content is too high. Try reducing the liquid by 1/4th cup. See if that helps. Thanks for coming by!

[emiliemontoya]

@pastryparrot1 thank you i will do that =)

[meestaree]

Easier mexican rice from my ex who was from Oaxaca - any vegetables in the fridge, rice, goya type chicken seasoning, a shake of garlic, a pat of butter, a splash of milk, must have big chunks of onions so they withstand the nuke, measure the rice 1 - 2 parts water so it's not mush and the veggies will drop some moisture - stir, microwave 12 minutes - stir once during the 12 minutes and only with a fork! - perfecto They lived 15 people in a house, now that is frugal.

[pastryparrot1]

@meestaree Thanks for the tip!
