- Side dish for tacos
- Base for burrito bowls

To prepare, you typically combine the contents of the package with water and sometimes butter or oil in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. This usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Stirring occasionally can help prevent sticking. The finished product is ready to serve directly from the pot.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain white rice, this mix is pre-seasoned, offering a distinct flavor profile without the need for separate spices. The blend of seasonings aims to replicate the savory and slightly spicy notes common in Mexican cooking, saving time on meal preparation.
