“A very simple tomato Mexican rice recipe. I can have this in the oven and cooking in one set of ads on the TV. If you don't have chicken stock, use hot water and chicken bouillon.” - by ELIZABETH101

"Really good recipe. Just what I was looking for! I would have given it five stars, but I did make a couple of adjustments. Following the advice of a few other reviewers, I only used 1 tsp of cumin ..." See more(I just knew 1 tbsp would be too much as my dh doesn't like cumin, plus it makes it easier to measure out--all the spices are 1 tsp!), and I added a 1/2 tsp or so of salt.

"This was very good rice really close to the resturants. I almost ruin mine by trying to cook it on the stove top, other reviewers stated they had done this, did not work for me, my rice started to sti..." See moreck and burn, I quickly remove from stove top, put in oven dish and cooked it that way, it did come out a little over cooked, but that was my fault, it still had that mexican red rice flavor that you get at mexican resturants. As far as the rest of the recipe I followed it exactly. I served with cheese enchiladas and a red chile sauce"
