I believe I heard it on the tee-and-vee that Our Great President, the greatest and hardest-working president in the history of presidents, wants everyone to dine on Mexican food this Independence Day. So, I bought taco ingredients and Spanish Rice mix and I'll start cooking it in about an hour.
And believe you me, you should have seen the dirty looks from the people in Trump hats and/or flag-theme t-shirts as I pushed a cart full of Mexican food ingredients to the register.

(14,491 posts)Our Restaurant Style Mexican Rice rivals anything you can get in a restaurant. It has the perfect consistency and just the right amount of seasoning.
I love this, it is super easy to make. The only changes is I use olive oil or smart balance instead of vegetable oil. I am not a big cilantro lover so I use about a teaspoon of dried cilantro.
