MEXICAN RICE
Are you craving that great Mexican rice from your favorite taco stand? Here it is. This is just like a good Mexican restaurant rice. Many recipes taste good... but the texture just isn't right. You know how it is... you have prepared scores of Mexican rice recipes but always have been disappointed. It may be delicious but kinda "gloopy and wet." Try this. Everything is pureed and cooked in. There are no chunks of anything... just dry fluffy rice with all the seasonings and just the tiniest hint of a tomato flavor. I will throw away all of my Mexican rice recipes- this is the one I have been looking for for years! I don't own a rice cooker but some people have had disappointing results using one. You will also need to adjust your cooking time if you want to use brown rice. I recommend following the cooking instructions as directed. Proceed at your own peril if you stray. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350.
- Process tomato and onion in processor or blender until pureed and thoroughly smooth. Transfer mixture to measuring cup and reserve exactly 2 cups. Discard excess.
- Remove ribs and seeds from 2 jalapenos and discard. Mince flesh and set aside. Mince remaining jalapeno. Set aside.
- Place rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear- about 1 1/2 minutes.Shake rice vigorously to remove excess water.This step removes the starch from the rice so it will not stick. IF YOU OMIT THIS STEP YOUR RICE WILL NOT BE DRY AND FLUFFY.
- Heat oil in heavy bottomed ovensafe 12 inch straight sided sautee pan or Dutch oven with tight fitting lid over low-medium heat about 2 minutes. (The recipe is very specific about this but I used a 10 inch dutch oven and it worked out fine.) Drop a few rice grains in and if they sizzle then it is ready. Add rice and fry stirring until rice is light golden and translucent, about 6-8 minutes. Be careful that the oil doesn't get too hot too fast or the oil will splatter.
- Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and 2 minced jalapenos and cook , stirring constantly until fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Stir in broth, pureed mixture,tomato paste, and salt. Increase heat to medium high, and bring to a boil.
- Cover pan and transfer pan to oven to bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 30-35 minutes.Stir well after 15 minutes.
- Stir in cilantro, minced jalapeno to taste, and pass lime wedges separately.
- Edited to add 6-15-05: If you can't get good fresh tomatoes you are better off using canned tomatoes. Don't use those awful hard and underipe tomatoes that are at most supermarket chains. Just be sure that the processed tomatoes and the one onion equals 2 cups. One the other hand- if you find that after processing your tomatoes and onions that you have less than 2 cups- simply add enough bottled salsa to make up the difference.
- Edited 8-21-06: Do not skip any of the steps. It may seem stupid- but rinsing the rice to remove the starch is very important if you want fluffy rice. It will only take two minutes of your time but it makes the difference.
- Edited 8-15-08: Leftovers are just as delicious the next day so this is a perfect dish to make ahead time for potlucks. This rice also freezes well. For Freezing Ahead: Cool, portion and freeze in a ziploc bag. To reheat from frozen: Place in a pyrex dish and warm in the microwave, stirring every 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- You'll love this rice! Money back guarantee.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and jalapeño and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat up to medium and add the tomato paste, garlic and rice; cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin; turn the heat up and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- Add the peas, cilantro and lime juice and fluff the rice with a fork to mix. Let the rice sit for a few moments to "dry out" and lose that wet, just-steamed texture. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and lime if necessary.
- Note: Some rice brands will require a little less or a little more liquid; check the package for specific instructions.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: This rice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. (Putting it in a flat layer in sealable plastic bags works well as it will take up less space in the freezer.) No need to thaw before reheating; remove it from the freezer and reheat in the microwave with 1 to 2 Tbsp. of water.

Steps:
- First, heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a deep skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the rice and stir constantly until the rice begins to turn golden brown. The toastier your rice, the tastier it will be (information gleaned from my friend, via her grandma of course).
- Next, add the chicken stock. The mixture will bubble up, and should be followed immediately by the tomato paste or tomato sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Bring to a boil, stirring the tomato paste to dissolve it if using, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Immediately turn the heat down to low and set a timer for 20 minutes.
- During or when the rice is done cooking, you may want to check moisture levels. If you smell a hint of a burnt scent, your heat is too high! In this scenario, if the rice is cooked, remove from the heat. If it's not cooked, lower the heat, and add water ½ cup at a time to continue the cooking process. If it's too wet, leave the lid slightly ajar or off the pan entirely.
- When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and serve!

Estimated Reading Time 6 mins
- Quesadillas. Quesadillas are among the foods that have gone global. Queso is the Spanish word for cheese. Therefore, when translated, quesadilla means cheese tortilla.
- Tacos. This wouldn’t be a best Mexican foods list without tacos. Tacos have also become global foods, and it’s not hard to see why. This food drips with deliciousness, and most people can agree that the moment you have your first taco, you never look back.
- Chilaquiles. Another Mexican favorite you don’t want to leave the country without trying is Chilaquiles. This food is perfect for breakfast. In Mexico, fried tortilla chips are accompanied by salsa roja (red salsa) or salsa verde (green salsa), onion, cream and cheese.
- Tamales. Tamales are a staple food in Mexico. They’re also among the foods that have made it global. Interestingly, tamales have a corn base, but they’re so different from quesadillas and tacos.
- Dorilocos. Dorilocos are an iconic Mexican snack. Most people who’ve visited the country say it’s a must-try. So, what are dorilocos? These are Doritos that have been cut open and filled with other types of chips, hot sauce, Cheetos, peanuts, cream, veggies, lettuce, corn, and anything else the person preparing the snack believes will add even more flavor.
- Machetes. If you’re starving and you’re looking for a filling meal that won’t leave a dent in your wallet while in Mexico, machetes are an excellent choice.
- Tlayudas. Tlayudas are commonly known as Mexican pizza because they’re mostly served flat and topped up with different ingredients like a pizza. However, there’s also the option of wrapping the ingredients as you would a taco.
- Elotes. In Mexico, corn in its pure form is referred to as maiz, but when it’s cooked, they call it elote. Sometimes they serve it with chili, mayonnaise, and cheese.
- Gorditas. Another pocket-friendly you must-try during your stay in Mexico is gorditas. They are pocket shaped patties that are made with the same ingredients used to make tacos and sopes but come with different fillings.
- Enfrijoladas. If you’re the kind of person who prefers a heavy breakfast, enfrijoladas won’t disappoint. These are folded corn tortillas that are topped with mashed black bean paste or dipped in a simple blended black bean sauce.

BEST AND WORST MEXICAN DISHES FOR YOUR HEALTH - WEBMD
From webmd.com
- Pick the Right Dish. There’s no denying that Mexican food is delicious. But many of the entrees are made with oil, lard, and salt -- and loaded with cheese and sour cream.
- Worst: Deluxe Burrito. When it comes to burritos, size matters. In restaurants, this dish often offers up several servings of rice, beans, and meat. That’s topped with scoops of high-fat cheese and sour cream.
- Best: Burrito Bowl. Unwrap that burrito, and you’ll save about 300 calories to start. For a healthy bowl, go with brown rice, black or pinto beans, and grilled chicken or lean steak.
- Best: Tacos. Tacos have built-in portion control. They’re smaller than most of the other things on the menu, so you can keep calories in check. Order the grilled chicken, lean steak, or grilled fish on a baked corn tortilla.
- Worst: Refried Beans. Despite their name, these mashed beans aren’t usually fried. But they’re often flavored with a big scoop of lard. That’s why a cup of refried beans can have about 10 grams of fat.
- Best: Black or Pinto Beans. In a taco or as a side, black or pinto beans are a healthy pick. They’re usually slow-cooked with onion, garlic, and spices. A half-cup packs in 8 grams each of fiber and protein.
- Worst: Queso. This cheesy appetizer is loaded with fat and calories. Go for the salsa or pico de gallo instead. Their tomatoes have an antioxidant called lycopene, which may help protect you against heart disease and certain cancers.
- Worst: Taco Salad. A salad sounds like it should be a healthy meal, but this version can have more calories than a burrito. The fried shell alone packs in nearly 400.
- Best: Soup. In Mexican cuisine, many soups are high in nutrients and low in calories. Look for one made with broth. Good bets are black bean, chicken tortilla, and shrimp (caldo de camaron) soups.
- Worst: Quesadilla. At home, this can be a quick and healthy meal. But some restaurants do it a bit differently. A pile of meat and cheese is sandwiched between two giant flour tortillas, then pan-fried.

25 BEST MEXICAN DRINKS FOR ALL YOUR FIESTAS IN 2022 ...
From mexicancandy.org
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Agua Fresca de Pepino. Mexican Agua Frescas are well-known and loved. One of them is Agua Fresca de Pepino made with fresh cucumbers. Instead of cucumbers, you can use any fruits (like strawberries or apples ) or even hibiscus flowers (we will also cover that in this post).
- Bloody Maria. Bloody Maria is a Mexican alcoholic drink made with tequila and spicy sauces. Before we jump into learning to make shots that can potentially give you a hangover, let’s be ready with the cure.
- Ponche. Do you think it sounds similar to ‘punch’? You guessed it right. Mexican fruit punch is called ponche. It is usually served during the holidays, and its fresh taste is the result of the seasonal fruits (mostly tejocotes) used in it.
- Tepache. Tepache is a fermented yet non-alcoholic Mexican beverage made with the peel and core of pineapples (Yea, not the flesh. So, save your canned pineapple slices).
- Sangrita. We didn’t spell sangria wrong and will direct you to its recipe sooner in this post. But for now, let’s learn how to make sangrita like an experienced drink-maker.
- Michelada. Michelada is a variant of Bloody Maria, a refreshing summer drink and is made differently throughout Mexico. The standard recipe uses light beer, Worcestershire sauce, and lime juice.
- Jamaica Agua Fresca / Agua de Jamaica / Hibiscus Water. Agua de Jamaica (pronounced hah-my-cah) is another Mexican agua fresca made with hibiscus. You can use either dry or fresh hibiscus flowers based on availability.
- Chavela. Chavela is the Mexican way of teaching you how to level up your beer game. Beer is flavored with tomato juice and hot sauce. If you can find Mexican light beer, you’re halfway close to making the perfect chavela.
- Jalapeno Margarita. Gear yourself up for a super spicy margarita! Jalapeno margarita is made by infusing your drink with jalapeno when it’s being processed in the shaker cup.
- Paloma. This Mexican tequila-based cocktail is very popular in Mexico and is sold in soda cans too. You can make it at home if you have a shaker cup and a few ingredients.

- Classic Guacamole. Why begin with something other than everyone’s favorite guacamole? Guacamole can take up many roles like a dip, a salad, and a spread.
- Blueberry & Red Bell Pepper Salsa. You often hear about salsas when the subject is Mexican food. Red bell peppers are sweet, and blueberries are luscious.
- Mexican Rice (Spanish Rice/ Arroz Rojo) Mexican rice, also called Spanish rice is a Mexican side dish, that is not at all related to Spain (despite its other name).
- Carlota. This authentic Mexican dessert is fun to make and tastes delicious. No time to cook when you have people over and looking for easy Mexican side dishes?
- Frijoles Borrachos a.k.a Borracho Beans. Also called borracho beans, Frijoles Borrachos is a traditional side dish to tacos, tortillas, and enchiladas.
- Refried Beans. Frijoles refritos, that’s what you call refried beans in Spanish. This dish is a traditional staple food of Mexico which gained popularity in other Latin American countries and in Tex-Mex cuisine.
- Cheesy Chicken Chimichanga. Chimichangas are Mexican appetizers that can be described as deep-fried burritos and are tortilla-based (that’s obvious). You can stuff chimichangas with proteinaceous veggies or meat of your choice (or even mushrooms).
- Mexican Street Corn Salad (Elote Salad) There are plenty of healthy Mexican side dishes, and Mexican street corn salad is one of them. Don’t let the word “street” fool you.
- Mexican Grilled Zucchini. Are you looking for Mexican vegetable side dishes without rice or beans? Then try this low-carb grilled zucchini, which doesn’t taste any less than the routine sides.
- Mexican Coleslaw. Alright! Coleslaw is of Dutch origin, but Mexicans adapted it to their cuisine, and the result is the creamy Mexican coleslaw. This goes well with fried chicken, fried fish, and barbequed meats.
