I am not a rice eater. Before we got married the only rice I ate was fried rice from P.F. Chang’s or other similar restaurants. Michael loves rice, though, and wanted to register for a rice cooker, which we got. He created this Mexican rice recipe that has become one of our favorite meals. It’s so quick and easy; we keep the ingredients on hand so we can make this at any time. And did I mention that it’s delicious? Cause it is. Props to my hubby for thinking this up!
ingredients
to make a rice cooker full, you’ll need 1 and 1/4 “rice cups” full of dry rice (not the same amount as a regular cup!)
put the rice in the cooker and add in one packet of taco seasoning
mix the seasoning and rice
pour in the whole can of chicken broth
pour in corn mix
rinse black beans
add to cooker
add several shakes of crushed red pepper, depending on how spicy you like it
looks yucky, but this is what it will look like before it’s cooked
close the lid and cook until the rice cooker says it is done (usually 30 – 45 minutes)
all done!
