Recipe Tips

  • Be sure to use a large saucepan to allow enough room for the rice to cook and expand.
  • Stir the rice occasionally while it’s cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, use a can of diced tomatoes instead of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
