Mexican Rice
I like to serve cuban flank steak with 1 cup of Knorr/Lipton Mexican rice.
Directions
1. Before opening, shake the packet of Mexican rice to ensure seasoning evenly coats rice.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water, 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional) and 1 cup of Mexican rice to a boil.
3. Stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is fully absorbed.
4. Let stand for 2 minutes. Stir and serve.
Don't forget to put the leftover Mexican rice contents in a ziplock bag and store for next time.
