Cheesy Mexican Rice Recipe
Cheesy Mexican Rice is a quick and easy side dish made with only four ingredients: rice, chicken broth, salsa, and cheese. It's a creamy, flavorful addition to any Mexican meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice uncooked
- 1 ¾ cups chicken broth for richer flavor, but water works too
- 1 cup salsa your favorite brand or homemade
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for that gooey, cheesy finish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, add the rice, chicken broth, and salsa. Give it a good stir.
- Simmer: Cover the saucepan and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Add Cheese: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s melted and creamy.
- Serve: Spoon it out and watch your family devour it!
Notes
- Substitutions: Water can replace chicken broth, but broth adds more flavor.
- Salt: The broth, salsa, and cheese provide salt, but adjust to taste if needed
