Spicy Mexican Rice Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This rice is not for the meek palate. It packs quite a piquant punch, so it is best paired with foods that are not so spicy, such as plain meats and refried beans or steamed veggies. The bold flavor here makes it especially well-matched with grilled meats and vegetables. This recipe calls for chicken broth; substitute beef broth if you plan to serve it with a beef main dish.
