About Mexican style red rice
Mexican Style Red Rice, or "Arroz Rojo," is a flavorful dish rooted in traditional Mexican cuisine. Made by sautéing long-grain white rice with onions and garlic, it’s simmered in a tomato-based broth seasoned with spices like cumin and chili powder. Fresh tomatoes, chicken or vegetable stock, and optional additions like peas, carrots, or bell peppers enhance its vibrant flavor and nutrition. Known for its striking red color and savory taste, this side dish pairs perfectly with beans, grilled meats, or other classic Mexican dishes. Nutritionally, Mexican red rice is low in fat and provides essential carbohydrates for energy. When prepared with added vegetables, it delivers fiber and key nutrients. However, the use of white rice and sodium from stock or seasonings can increase calorie and salt intake. For a healthier version, brown rice and reduced-sodium broth can be substituted without compromising the dish's signature flavor.
