Spanish rice, also known as Mexican rice, is a flavorful dish commonly found in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. This savory rice is typically made with long-grain white rice, tomatoes or tomato sauce, onions, garlic, and spices like cumin and chili powder, giving it its distinctive orange-red hue and aromatic flavor. Some variations include vegetables such as bell peppers, peas, or carrots, and it’s often cooked in chicken or vegetable broth for added depth. Spanish rice offers a source of carbohydrates for energy and contains essential vitamins from the added vegetables and tomatoes. However, its nutritional content can vary depending on preparation. Recipes using refined white rice or added oils may have lower fiber content and higher calorie density. Opting for brown rice and limiting added fats can enhance its health benefits, making it a more balanced side dish to complement a wide range of meals.
