Arroz Mexicano

Arroz Mexicano (Mexican red rice) is the fluffy, tomato-y side dish that goes with everything, from tacos and enchiladas to beans and grilled chicken. The rice is toasted until golden, then simmered in a fresh tomato purée seasoned with NutraKik® Original, so there's no need for bouillon cubes or boxed broth.
