Mexican Red Rice, also known as arroz rojo, is a flavorful side dish from Mexican cuisine, often enjoyed as a complement to main courses like tacos, enchiladas, or grilled meats. The vibrant color comes from tomatoes, which are typically blended with onion, garlic, and spices to form a savory base. The rice is cooked in oil before simmering with the tomato mixture and often enriched with chicken or vegetable broth for added depth. Common additions include carrots, peas, or bell peppers for texture and nutrition. While Mexican Red Rice is a good source of carbohydrates and provides vitamins from the vegetables, it can be high in sodium depending on the seasoning and broth used. Opting for whole-grain rice or reducing added salt can enhance its nutritional value. Perfectly versatile, it reflects the bold and comforting flavors of traditional Mexican cooking.
