Mexican Rice

We have retreats at our temple SAT. It is a 3 day retreat and some of my friends and I volunteer to cook for these retreats. This month we had a retreat and our friend Sasvati cooked this rice. It was very delicious. I asked her for the recipe right away! I was amazed how easy this rice is to make. My son is a huge fan of Mexican food and he liked this rice very much. Hopefully we can save some trips to taco bell:) This rice can be served with beans and sour cream .
