Any mexican rice recipes without meat?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Recipes


Does anybody have a good authentic mexican rice recipe with no meat? I had a friend of mine in the past make some for me with cantina tomato sauce and diced onions. It tasted out of this world.

Any good ones?

My Moms recipe for Mexican rice. It's really good.

4 tablespoons cooking oil
2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
1/2 onions, diced
1 small can tomato sauce
1 cup of chicken broth
3 cups water
1 Tbsp cumin powder
garlic salt

Heat oil in saucepan and add the onion, and rice.
Saute on medium heat until the rice is lightly browned, stirring frequently.
Add the tomato sauce, water, chicken broth, cumin and garlic salt (to your liking), turn heat to medium-high and bring to a slight boil.
Stir, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 25 minutes (no peeking), until the rice is done.
Remove from heat and stir.

***REPLACE THE CHICKEN BROTH WITH WATER! Sorry, I forgot meatless…yipes!

    Go online and look for a good Red Rice recipe. It is easy to make and meatless. You basically gave the recipe above. You can add other seasonings to give it some zip.
