My absolute favorite place to go is the Mexican restaurant down the road. My husband’s least favorite place to go? You guessed it…the Mexican restaurant down the road (or really, any Mexican restaurant).

We compromise by going there as often as possible. That’s just how marriage works. 😉

And on the days we can’t go, I am sure to cook my version of my favorite items from their menu.

We often serve up chips and restaurant style salsa or homemade guacamole along with our turkey tacos or fried tacos…and we always have those with a big dish of this easy Mexican rice. It’s just the perfect dinner, if you ask me!
This rice is simple to make, so fluffy, perfectly seasoned, and it goes great in burritos, as a side dish, or as the base for a burrito bowl.
