Recipe Note

Our recipe for Arroz a la Mexicana lets you make authentic Mexican rice at home. We purée the onion, jalapeno, and garlic, so the flavor gets infused into the rice. Sauteing the rice in Country Crock® before simmering helps it cook up separate and fluffy and gives this dish a flavor boost.
