If you love homemade Mexican food, a good Mexican rice recipe is a must. Often called Spanish rice or arroz rojo, this classic dish features long-grain rice simmered in a tomato and spice-infused broth, giving it that signature reddish-orange color. My take on it has become a family favorite—my kids swear it’s just as delicious as the rice from our favorite local Mexican spot!
