    Mexican Style Rice – Tasty Tuesday

    By Laura CyraNovember 16, 2014No Comments2 Mins Read

    Did you catch my tip for leftover rice last week?  I'm sharing my Mexican Style Rice recipe this week that is perfect for those leftovers.  The recipe is simple and I keep most of these items in my pantry so this dish gets used when I have no other ideas for a side dish and have some rice in the freezer.  Just a tip if you're trying to save money I grab my tomato paste at the dollar store, it is usually 2/$1 which is a lot cheaper than buying at the grocery store.

    You can easily change the dish up by adding different spices to it.  We found this was a keeper for the whole family!  If your'e wondering what it looks like in the frying plan while cooking this is one of the batches I made with rice and broccoli frozen pucks:
