I'm 84 and have Mexican ladies who taught me how to cook like you. They are no longer with us, now i have you. What i love is how you ladies love to share your talent for cooking. Retired to Hawaii Aloha
I cant tell you how many times I have tried and failed to make Mexican rice. I dont know what it was- I followed my mothers steps exactly. I took my sisters advice. Ive even called on my brothers for helpful tips. Nothing- straight poop. For YEARS. Rice was usually too mushy.. or not enough flavor..always something. I gave up. Until I found your video. I figured why not? Shes either full of it, or she may actually know what shes talking about. Well I'll be damned.. i followed your instructions exactly and my rice was phenomenal! I made it and remade it 4 days in a row!! Amazing each time. I dont know what it was or how you did it but your video is magic and turned my food Amazing! Thank you and looking forward to watching more videos!
Just came on to say I FEEL YOUR PAIN. Tried to make Mexican rice yesterday for a dinner party, using the Instant Pot. And failed--twice. Rice was mushy and gross. I'm stumped. On here now researching new recipes to see what to do differently next time. Bc: NEVER AGAIN! I have bookmarked this page and will be returning the next time I want to make Mexican rice. :)
I have a friend who is Mexican heritage whose mom was a wonderful cook. She has a terrible time making Mexican rice, too, so I shared this video with her.
I too would absolutely buy a cookbook!! A CD or USB of video is also a good idea and I would buy it for any price!! It would be like having mom here telling me how to cook! ❤👍
I grew up on arroz and frijoles my mom was from Chihuahua and I cannot make my rice taste as good as hers! That said, you have a different recipe which I hope will make my rice tastier! Please publish a cookbook!
My goodness Rachel, you nearly have half a million subscribers now! You deserve every bit of your success because you're the best cooking teacher on YT. 👏🏾👍🥳
Rachel keeps it real and goes through every step for people like me who are amateur cooks. Absolutely the best cooking channel anywhere and hopefully she gets picked up by the Food Network!
@@Mr_Mojo_Risin: I've quit TV and stopped watching the Food Network years ago when they started with those food 'game shows.' But I agree, Rachel has all the talents I look for in a cooking demonstration show. None better on YT, imo. Have you tried her Cinnamon Rolls yet?? 🏆❤
I have always wanted to make Mexican rice correctly. My brother would make it real quick with tomato sauce and onions. I think TINA pretty good, but I tried it, and I couldn’t get it just right. I am so grateful to be taught how to make the Mexican rice correctly! Thank you so much beautiful woman.
I made this rice last night and my husband raved and raved about it. He requested a "rice burrito" in his lunch today. Lol We definitely have a new rice recipe, thank you!
I’m giving you the FIRST THUMBS UP even before I watch this video because A) You are such a Beautiful Soul, B) Your cooking and recipes are the Bees’ Knees and C) I love your calming and caring voice. If I lived in your State I’d be stopping by with some Treats! Get your Coffee Pot on! Lol ❤❤❤
I made your flour tortillas and Mexican rice along with steak fajitas for dinner tonight. My husband gave them a chef's kiss and said everything was delicious. Thank you for helping me accomplish making these recipes!
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Johnson David from Oslo Norway, where are you from if I may ask?🥰🥰❤
We tried this twice. The first time I did not strain the sauce, it was too strong of onion and tomato flavors. The second time it was PERFECT! I followed the recipe exactly...12 min. to brown the rice on med/low, 17 min. to cook on low, and leave it covered off heat. (I got busy making your beef enchiladas and did not "Fluff" it for 30 min. but it was soft and delicious!!!) NOTE: Your enchilada sauce is Absolutely THE VERY BEST!!! I've made it with chicken, beans, cheese and onion, and now ground beef, we LOVE it! Thank you for the detailed and patient instruction. I never dreamed I could cook such a fabulous meal until I watched your videos.
I'm making the rice and beef enchiladas at the same time right now! Rice is at the resting point and enchiladas are on their last 10 in the oven, can't wait to taste this meal!
I was hoping you would do a Mexican rice video. I absolutely love it! I so appreciate your step by step instructions. I’m so thankful I found your channel. I’m thoroughly enjoying every single video. Your recipes are fantastic! Blessings to you and your Ron.
You are an angel! I’ve made Mexican rice for years but it never turns out fluffy! I use tomato sauce like my mom did, but I’m anxious to try it with the bullion. Thank you for explaining what to look for while it’s cooking too! I can see where I’ve been going wrong thanks to your explanation. It’s what I love most about your videos.
Rachel, I made this tonight, and it came our perfect. I have never had luck cooking any type of rice on the stove, but this was a huge success for me. The flavor is perfect, as is the texture. Thank you for making this direct, and easy to follow.
You must be a mind reader. I’m planning tomorrow night’s dinner and came on to look for Mexican rice recipes. This is the second time this has happened. All of your recipes are the best and so are you. ❤
Miss Rachel, I absolutely love your videos! I am a transplanted Texan in Louisiana, I miss true Mexican food, & am so happy to get your channel. I see the next recipe is refried beans...gotta get that as well. Keep up the good work. Your directions are spot on and you have a very soothing voice. Thanks again.
My stepmother made some bizarre concoction she called “Mexican Rice” when I was a teen, and I refused to eat it. Thank goodness for people like you who share phenomenal, authentic recipes. I’m so excited to incorporate this into our staple meals!
Miss Rachel. GOD Bless You!!! How long I've been looking for a person to teach me how to cook authentic Mexican food. I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD! You are truly a blessing on this earth. Thankyou for the stories of cooking with your mom and tia. Our family loves watching your teaching videos.
Rachel you are the best cook and my kitchen hero! Thank you for your videos and sharing them. I am learning to cook the dishes I grew up with. How often I wish I took notes on how my mother RIP cooked those Mexican dishes but sadly she took those life time of cooking skills to her grave. You inspire me to be a good cook. Thanks again- Tim in MI
Thank you so much for your comment Tim, I try my best to keep up with comments, so I’m sorry for the late response. I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe and I hope you continue to enjoy it. Blessings my friend.❤
Lucky for me as a rice lover I learned about KNORR chicken/tomato bouillon base from a Mexican friend. Yes it is the best additive for your rice recipe. Cumin is a must. I’ll do it your way next time.
Thank you Rachel for being on RU-vid. I’ve been looking for someone like you for a long time to teach me how to do things the way it supposed to be done to come out the way restaurants and families make them your recipes are awesome.❤️❌⭕️🙏📿
There are some things I make that are really good, this was unreal. For those in the lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada, Don Chendo has the quality tomatillo, puyo, guajillo and ancho chiles beyond compare and made the recipe shine. Thank you so much, it's the food of love.
Rachel, I have always wanted to make at home a delicious Mexican rice side dish. This is it!! Thank you for your sharing your kitchen experience. I will be trying more of your recipes 😊
Great video Rachel! That's the way I was taught to make rice from the Mexican kitchens of friends and neighbors in SW Detroit. You gave me some good pointers to make it even better.
I like how you simplify everything and make it easy. My adhd doesn’t let me sit and watch technical videos with millions of instructions lol Thank You!!
So glad you posted this yummy recipe with no carrots, lol. I don"t know why some restaurants insists on putting carrots in their rice, yours looks excellent and yummy. Thank you.
Believe it or not, I do love carrots in my rice because it adds a pinch of sweetness which is a perfect combination with the other ingredients (sweet and savory) but it is optional. Thank you so much for your comment my friend. ❤️
Made my first Mexican rice 1 year ago for the homeless in our local park. I was asked to make it since I participated in the cooking the meal every Sunday. The cumin is the important ingredients plus of course the tips you've shared with us. Thank you, now I could make a better Mexican rice!
Rachel, I love you woman. I am African American, but I have FOUR grandchildren who are half Mexican and I love fixing them dishes from that side of their culture. Their mother is very impressed I am able to cook Mexican dishes so well. Thank you for assisting me..😊❤
Awesome 🤩 Very excited to use your recipe with basmati rice! My mom used to make Spanish rice - looked very similar, but I never had the recipe. Your recipes that I have tried are always excellent therefore this Mexican rice recipe will undoubtedly be a winner 🏆. Thank you as always 🙏
Every single recipe she make reminds me when I was a young girl. Absolutely delicious Rachel. This rice turned out perfectly cooked. I cook my rice for 20 minutes. (We're always learning) so I will try 17 minutes. I can't wait to taste the texture. Thx 😊
Best rice Ever! I made this after I made your Chicken Enchilada. Oh my!!! Better than any restaurant I have ever tried. Thank you so much Rachel. “My Randy loved it.”❤
Rachel, thank you for your videos. You are a great cook and you present your content so well. Very simple steps to follow and you give thorough explanations for your techniques. I just watched your video for Mexican rice and I will not only make it using your methods from now on, but I will also make sure to rinse my rice beforehand! This was a wonderful addition to white creamy chicken enchiladas! Thank you so much!
Love it, love it! Your red Mexican rice step by step is the best method and recipe I ever made THAT REALLY WORKED FABULOUSLY!! Thank you Rachel for sharing your experience and love for cooking. I'm your follower since the beginning. I'm so happy you have half a million followers now. I'm sure you'll be in the millions soon. Keep beautiful you smiling. Saludos desde sacramento
Stumbled onto your channel when looking for a good Mexican Rice recipe for my husband and daughter, who are Mexican. After following your recipe exactly, I was nervous about serving this to my famiy. My hubby absolutely loved it and said it reminded him of his Nina's rice.. ❤ My daughter said it was the best Mexican rice she's ever had! You def now have a loyal follower Miss Rachel! Thank you!! ❤❤
I've always struggled to find a good Mexican rice recipe. This is it! Wow Rachel, you did it again for me! I've been enjoying your cabbage and bacon recipe at least once a week. Amazing! Your cinnamon rolls are incredible! Absolutely the best RU-vid subscription I've joined. Thank you
I too love the cabbage and bacon recipe and you should try out her Apple Fritters! Out of this world. I made some to take to work and they were gone in seconds!!! Gotta be quick hahaha
I love watching you cook. You cook old school the best way. Its becoming a lost art and because of you Rachel your keeping these wonderful recipes alive . love your record that's the foods I grew up with and I'm in my 70's.
Oh Rachel, I made your Mexican Rice and it was fantastic - so tasty, fluffy and easy to make! My sister, who lives next door and is on Keto, about lost her mind over the wonderful smell! Lol! I think I’m going to make some of your enchiladas and refried beans this weekend. Thanks for the videos to encourage those of us intimidated by Mexican cooking. Love you darlin’. From an Ohio foodie.
I love the way you make Mexican Rice, Ms. Rachel. It looks so delicious & I even love how nice you are when you show the viewers how to cook recipes. Watching your videos is such a beautiful thing to do & it's all thanks to you & your beautiful cooking style.
I'm Mexican and there are so many different ways that people make rice. I don't make mine like this and also do not use bouillion as it has tons of sodium. I use natural vegetable broth instead. I also use stewed tomatoes--perfect for the broth and I squeeze out the juice from the tomatoes and it's perfect. Have never used pepper or cumin, but like I said, everyone makes it differently. Thank you for your version :)
Happy new year Rachel, im 25 years old and today was my first time ever making Mexican rice. Although I didn’t have all the ingredients you had in this video, i managed. I would like to give you a huge thank you for showing me how to make some of the best rice🤌 my wife, kids and I loved it thank you again
I was hoping I'd find this recipe here. Everything you make is perfect. I've been trying for 30 years to make good mexican rice and fail every time. Yours is the winner again! Thank you. Thumbs up to your recipe, your excellent tutorials, and to you. Lucky Ron! That's all I can say!
I like how you explain all the steps and give the cooking time instructions. Looks wonderful with all of the fresh ingredients. I will make some today.
I love watching your site. I have learned to cook so many things and everyone who I serve them to love it! Thank you for being so thorough and presenting things so understandable. Blessings
Omgggggg I watched ur video and on the first try I got it just right. I watched so many other videos and my rice came out so watery. I THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! you made it so easy to follow and explained what to look for in cooking the rice. I'm keeping this video forever. Thank you so much!
I have tried several Mexican rice recipes that claim to be “the best and authentic.” Nothing was that great. But your recipe was exactly what I was looking for. So delicious and perfect! I’ve already made it 5 times since I found it a month ago. Thank you!
I have been winging this completely wrong, thank you for gently and kindly explaining it to me. I just discovered your videos, and I’m excitedly making my grocery list now for the week ahead! My family is going to be thrilled.
Wait, I love Rachel ! I just saw her channel while looking for rice recipes . Thank you for being so through, and sharing with us ! You make me feel like I know you ! 🤍🤍🤍☺️☺️☺️
Rachel you are my favorite cook. I love everything you make. You are amazing. I just love you. I hope you never go away. I love your style. I LOVE watching you cook. Hello from St Louis Missouri ❤
Your recipe for Mexican Rice is AMAZING!!! It's my go-to every time. For the first time my husband likes Mexican Rice! He always snubbed his nose at it before! THANK YOU!!!
I made this rice last week and again today for dinner's side dish. Really yummy and just the right amount of spices. Adding the serrano pepper, is a great topper. Thank you for sharing.
I like the idea of adding the onion and garlic into the oil to season the oil before adding the rice. It is a sad and panicked day when I run out of Caldo de Tomate. Mexican rice is my favorite way to have rice, I will have it for lunch (sometimes even for breakfast 🤫) by itself with a healthy topping of fresh pico de gallo. I can't wait to try your recipe Rachel, thank you for sharing it! 🥰
Rachel you are the best and easiest person to follow recipes 😉 I just love your cooking and now my cooking is amazing ...thank you from my whole family
Thank you, so much for explaining this recipe, step by step; especially when frying the rice, thats the step I messed up on, when trying to make Mexican rice for the 1st time & now that I found your video, I plan on trying once more, but exactly how you showed how, to make it, on this video. Thank you for posting & explaining in more details. ❤
My wife (Michelle) begin watching your videos a month ago. Wow, every since then her menu & cooking has been fantastic. Thank you! I can’t wait to see what we’re having tonight.
I make my rice the same. I love the tomato chicken bullion. I do add chopped onion after the rice is lightly toasted, I cook the rice and onions together after onion is translucent and then proceeded to add the tomato sauce, chicken broth with bullion, Serrano pepper and the garlic I toasted to release more flavor 😋
I have made this rice several times and it is beyond delicious!! I could just eat it by itself! My son in law tried it recently and said it was the best mexican rice he has ever had :) Thank you so much for your amazing recipes!
Happy new year Rachel, im 25 years old and today was my first time ever making Mexican rice. Although I didn’t have all the ingredients you had in this video, i managed. I would like to give you a huge thank you for showing me how to make some bomb rice🤌 my wife, kids and I loved it thank you again
Before I found your channel, I used to search for videos of recipes I didn't know how to make & wow, I can't tell you how much time I wasted watching really long-winded people showing overly complicated or fancy recipes that needed a lot of expensive ingredients or stuff that no one really has on hand. It was a lot of disappointment & I'm a pretty good cook, but I had not had much practice at cooking a lot of Mexican food so I started my first time looking for a video teaching how to make homemade tortillas and I found you! I've learned so many delicious, simple recipes watching your channel and I really really do enjoy your personality and you always have perfect technique and helpful tips so everything turns out so good! Ive never wasted a minute watching you and when I'm in a hurry or craving a new recipe for some good food I will always look for you first! Thanks for teaching us how to cook the best food on RU-vid!
❤I just love watching you cook so many of my mom’s recipes. I had forgotten some but you helped me bring them to my boys. You are my go to person now. I am also originally from the southern most city in Texas next to Mexico. Now transplanted to Houston. God bless you and your husband. 👍❤️
