There is a Mexican restaurant that I love because of their Mexican rice. I have always wanted to make it at home but had not found a good recipe. I can stop looking, this was delicious! I found it on Pinterest, the original recipe was by Rick Bayless, and then this girl modified it to her tastes, and I changed it a bit too, I went with corn instead of peas, it just seems to fit better with Mexican food to me. I also added potatoes, like Margarita's version. If you do not have hash browns in the house, you can substitute tater tots - just stir well at the end.
Mexican Rice
1 1/2 cup rice
1 1/2 T vegetable oil
1 cup salsa
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup corn - frozen
1 cup hash browns - frozen
Pour oil and rice into a pan and heat over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salsa, chicken broth, and salt and bring to a boil. Add corn and potatoes and mix well. Pour into a casserole dish, cover, and bake at 350° for 1 hour.
