Green Mexican Rice

So, you have burritos or tacos, and you just want a little something to go with them, right?  Or perhaps you are one who likes to have rice inside your burritos… well, here is a great Mexican rice that’s a cinch to make!

Ingredients:

  • pre-cooked rice (we use leftovers) about 1-2 cups is good
  • 1 can Herdez Salsa Verde (not a jar, a can)
  • ½ sweet onion – chopped
  • garlic – minced
  • diced fire-roasted chilies – optional
  • olive oil – for the pan

Pour some oil into a large skillet or sauté pan.  Sauté the garlic and onions (and chilies if using) until they just start to caramelize.

Add the cooked rice to the pan, stir a bit, and pour the salsa verde over it.  Stir again.  Cook until it’s warmed throughout.

Serve, eat and enjoy!

Told you it was easy…

This also transports very well, and it’s even better after it sits for a day or so.  Some people don’t like any spice, but for those that do, you can easily substitute a diced jalapeño or two for the can of chilies.
