Mexican rice at our house has become a touchy subject until…last night. As each good wife does when you first marry you make the standard recipes your mom used to make. Well, years go by and I finally caught on to the fact that I was the ONLY one eating the Mexican rice at dinner. My husband admitted that he only believes in eating rice that actually has flavor. So I went on a hunt and experimenting to find a side dish that pleased me and his taste buds. Let’s just say after some tweaking and adding jalapenos this was delicious.
