For a quick Mexican rice, I combined two cups of rice, and 4 cups of water in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil on high heat. Let boil for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to low and let simmer.
When rice is 90% cooked, I mix in some fajita or taco seasoning and let it continue to simmer until rice is fully cooked. Easy, simple and a delicious side dish.
