do not stir your rice while it is cooking u will have mush
also do not put tomm much water cover the rice w/ water
you can always add but not take out
cover you pan w/ a lid while cooking for added steam
garlic and cumin to your taste
cumin is very strong a little goes a long way
after it is ready turn off the stove and let rest for a few minutes
do not dig in right of way
I grew up eatting mexican rice and love to add chicken to make it a meal
