I added a can of drained corn and used 1/4 cup of salsa instead of the tomato sauce. I also melted a layer of cheddar on the top and still drizzled the whole thing with the queso. I topped it with green onions, sour cream and more salsa. It was so good and even easier to throw together!

That’s when people start having issues with their rice NOT GETTING DONE & ending up CRUNCHY… Never have I ever heard to stir your rice after it comes to a boil and you place the (VERY TIGHT FITTING) lid on.<br />Another note, people have asked about freezing this recipe, I second the person who mentioned that they freeze their Spanish Rice, YES! YES! YES! Absolutely you CAN FREEZE IT & SHOULD! Make an extra large portion, or just make sure your leftovers aren’t getting tossed because they sat in the fridge too long. I freeze Spanish, Fried and plain White Rice and they all taste wonderful when serving them after they’ve been frozen. I microwave the Spanish & White Rice, if it has meat in it (Fried Rice or THIS FABULOUS DISH) then I typically put it in a casserole dish, it may need a little liquid, depending on how much you need you “could” use just water, or Chicken Broth/Stock/Better Than Bouillon, you really just want to SPRINKLE THE VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF LIQUID, unless you’re planning to leave it in the oven for an extended period of time or if it seems super dry… <br />I promise you this, you will be SOOO HAPPY when you have a ready made meal FROM SCRATCH, that you just popped in the Casserole dish/pan, etc. and let it go! It’s such a nice way to get a home cooked meal in very little time, and almost NO EFFORT on a busy weeknight! You will be sooo happy that you saved and/or made extra ahead of time! It takes no extra time or effort (typically ~ Most Recipes) to double your recipe and it’s the best time saver ever when you pull it back out of the freezer and pop it into the pan, oven, microwave, etc. You won’t regret it!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848110156569017758.post-80982405812697384892023-06-27T20:20:53.844-04:002023-06-27T20:20:53.844-04:00My version made tonight.

Thank you for sharing! It's so versatile and one can add what they have at home. I made this spare of moment and it turned out great. I didn't have meat thawed so I added black beans into the rice and seasoning too cook and sautéed some corn pieces. I added all of this into tortilla and drizzled it with the homemade queso . I only had white cheddar but it still turned out to yummy. This made so much rice filling that I made some burritos for the freezer. I don't know how well they freeze but I hope ok.
