Mexican Rice in a black bowl with two lime wedges.

Lauren here from Wicked Spatula!  This recipe couldn’t be more simple. You’ll start by pureeing some tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeños, and tomato sauce in a blender. This gives you a super flavorful sauce that will cook right into the rice giving it that lovely yellow/orange color. After that you’ll saute the rice in a little oil in a heavy bottomed pot until golden, pour in the tomato sauce and broth and cook just like normal rice. I like to add a fresh squeeze of lime juice at the end along with some cilantro. Typically I serve this rice with enchiladas, or as a base for burrito bowls!
