Rice A Roni Mexican Street Corn Style Rice
What it is
This is a convenient rice mix that brings the flavors of Mexican street corn to your table. It combines long-grain rice with a seasoning blend designed to evoke the taste of elote, a popular Mexican corn dish. The mix typically includes dried corn, spices, and other flavorings to create a savory and slightly tangy profile. It's a quick way to add a flavorful side dish to any meal.
How people cook with it
This rice mix is perfect for adding a unique twist to weeknight dinners or for serving as a flavorful accompaniment to grilled meats and seafood.
- Side dish for tacos
- Base for burrito bowls
- Accompaniment to grilled chicken
- Flavorful addition to salads
To prepare, you will typically combine the contents of the rice and seasoning packets with water and 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. Stirring occasionally during the simmering process helps ensure even cooking and prevents sticking. The final dish should be fluffy and infused with the zesty, slightly sweet, and savory notes characteristic of Mexican street corn.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain white rice, this variety is pre-seasoned with a distinct flavor profile. It offers a blend of spices, corn, and a hint of lime or chili that sets it apart from more traditional rice dishes. The texture will also be slightly different due to the inclusion of corn kernels.

How to keep the rest
After preparing, store any leftover rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days for optimal freshness. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to restore moisture.
