We have been making this rice in our family for years and it’s definitely requested often as a side dish or a main meal mixed with veggies.
My kids like it for lunch and I enjoy it with eggs and refried beans in the morning. My husband is known to finish any leftovers he may find in the fridge the next day.
And I’m glad they all like it because I enjoy making it. Very often!
This rice is super fluffy, bright orange and can be eaten wherever, whenever by the spoonfuls.
And if you really want to mix it up and try a meaty variation of this, check out my dirty rice recipe. You’ll love it!
The mix of tomato bouillon and Sazon Goya seasoning gives it a rich authentic taste which enhances the overall flavor of the rice. And the freshly chopped garlic, onion and a dash of cumin will bring out the wonderful aromas as the rice cooks.
Mmmmmm…
