Featured Rice Recipe: Mexican Skillet Rice

 
Food Blog by Western Rice Mills
We always associate Mexican food with famous tacos and enchiladas. But did you know that there is so much more to Mexican cuisine?

Let us take for example our featured rice recipe here.

The skillet highlights the use of brown rice with hearty, classic beans and spicy chili powder.
Mexican Skillet Rice
​You can choose to combine this with your favourite meat to make up for a delicious Mexican meal.

So now, let us explore the ingredients that we would need to prepare for this recipe.
You will need at least one pound (1 lb.) of lean ground beef – or if you prefer, you can use about 500 grams of turkey. Also, you will need about three (3) cups of cooked brown rice.

Get ready with chopped medium onions, one teaspoon (1 tsp.) for each of the 5ml-chili powder and 5ml-ground cumin; one 475-ml can of pinto beans and 2 118-ml cans of diced green chili; and about one-half teaspoon (1/2 tsp.) of salt.You may want to include one chopped, seeded tomato and shredded cheddar cheese. For garnish, you may put some fresh cilantro, depending on your taste.

So, let us get the cooking going by putting meat in a big skillet – using medium to high heat – until the color turns brown. Stir meat, and if possible, drain fat.

Put chili powder, cumin, salt and onion. Make sure onion is tender enough. Now, you are ready with your rice, chilies and beans. Stir. You can then add cheese and tomato. Depending on your taste, you can put cilantro to add extra spiced flavour.

This recipe can make about six servings. To learn about nutritional value, please check out our rice recipe page.

Nutritious Rice: Source of Healthy Gluten Free Diet

​Maintaining a good, healthy diet is not just about following a strict nutrition guide. It is about looking at your health needs.

"What if you happen to be one of those who have gluten-intolerance or allergy? Would it not be important that you find a healthy gluten-free diet?

What if you happen to be one of those who have gluten-intolerance or allergy? Would it not be important that you find a healthy gluten-free diet?

It is interesting to note that one of the gluten free foods that you might want to include in your healthy gluten free diet is rice.

Although, in most cases, rice is gluten free, it would always be a great idea to always check on the product label to see whether the food item is really gluten free.

For example, if you see Western Rice Mills’ Texana Rice Product (Thai Jasmine Rice) that we feature here, the words GLUTEN FREE appear on the rice package.

For other Texana Rice Products, please visit Western Rice Mills’ top rice products page and you will find other gluten-free rice packages.
Western Rice Mills is your online resource of gluten free rice recipes, gluten-free foods related information and other nutritious rice products.
