This rice looks so delicious. I am loving the colors, and the best part is that it’s a one-pot recipe, which means healthy goodness and fast cleanup!
This looks fantastic and is totally something my family would love. I have to try this soon!
This looks so delicious!
We made it without the chiles – too spicy for the kids – and yummy!
i’ll give it a try. always looking for easy dairy and being on the west coast, we love mexican style.
me too!
This looks good but what can you suggest I use for the rice in Israel? Thanks!
Use your favorite rice, and then spice it up with turmeric, paprika, and cayenne (if you can stand it
. For added flavor when you cook your rice cook it in broth (in this case vegetable since you are doing dairy otherwise chicken broth) instead of water for tons of added flavor!
