This is the best spanish rice recipe i have tried so far and definitely the easiest. My husband loves rice beans and tortillas once a week.

This is a great recipe and very easy to put together. I only put in 1 tsp. of salt and I simmered it slowly for close to an hour. It is a wonderful addition to my cookbook.

This was very good and easy. Just what I was looking for to go with burritos. I used less onions and peppers. Thanks for the recipe!
