Have you ever noticed that you could tell a good Mexican restaurant by its rice? It’s not just a side dish, but a culinary masterpiece. From its red color to its tantalizing aroma, Mexican rice has become an essential part of any fiesta or gathering. But what makes it truly special is the combination of flavors that do the hat dance on your tongue. So, if you’re ready to embark on a flavorful journey, join us as we unravel the secrets behind our Mostly Famous Mexican Rice.

1. Instant Pot
2. Liquid Measuring Cup

1. Rice
2. Garlic
3. Chicken broth
4. Tomato Sauce
5. Pico de Gallo Seasoning
6. Oil

Directions

Drizzle some oil into the bottom of the Instant Pot, this will help it keep from sticking. Set the Instant Pot to sauté. Add in one cup of rice and stir.

In a large liquid measure cup, pour in 2 cups of chicken broth.

Add in the Pico de Gallo seasoning.

To make things easy, we add the tomato sauce to the broth. Now we have an easy way to pour everything in when we need to, but don’t do that yet.

When the Instant Pot is hot, throw in the garlic and stir. We need to cook the garlic to help release its flavor.

When we start to see some brown, then we will need to add in our liquids to keep the garlic from burning. Give it a quick stir and close it up. Set the Instant Pot to rice or 12 minutes.

When the Instant Pot is done you will have some beautiful looking rice.
