Raves from my teenager! This rice is superb! I "fried" the rice in the butter first and it was oh sooo good! Thanks for sharing such an easy recipe. I would have never even thought of using taco seasoning in this way.

I made this last night in my rice cooker, but used beef bouillion instead and it turned out great! Thanks Kim D!

I had left over rich chili enchilidas that were real heavy and didnt want my spicy spanish rice so i wanted something that i could add cheese ( like the resturants el chico's, casa bonito, panchos) cheese sauce they serve with chips and tortillias. This fit the bill perfect. Time was perfect rice was not too dry but dry. I will be making this for christmas eve with my indian tacos Thanks

Quick and easy to put together! I put all in my rice cooker double everything but the water. Once all ingredients was in I pour chicken broth in about 1 inch above the rice. Walla! Perfect. I served for Father`s day part of my Fathers Day TEX-MEX. Sorry I didn`t get a picture as my guest had it gone in no time. Thanks Kim.

Skipped the butter and used 1tsp of olive oil. Really, really tasty with El Pollo Loco Avocado Sauce. Made it with brown rice with appropriate cooking time and water amount.

I was delighted with this recipe Kim. My family is not fond of tomatoey foods and most Mexican rice dishes have them in it. I normally do not put butter in my rice, but I did here, and I think it really added to the flavor (mellowed the taco seasonings and combined nicely with the chicken base) and texture. I added this rice to our bean burritos(and served rest on the side) and it really made them hearty. The rice reheated nicely, too. Roxygirl

I enjoyed this rice as is but added a dab of sour cream and some Valentina hot sauce and it turned spectacular. Thanks for a great base recipe Kim!

Very easy to do. There was a lot of heat to this, maybe because I used homemade taco seasoning. My husband thought it would be nice to add meat or vegetables.

Thanks so much for posting this recipe, it was terrific! I was looking for a side dish to go with reicpe#57332 for company and this was a perfect addition. I doubled the recipe for 12 people and made it with my taco seasoning Bulk Taco Seasoning Mix and it was perfect. Thanks again!
