MEXICAN FRIED RICE – MEXICAN FLAVOURED RICE

Mexican Fried Rice – An Easy way to use Leftover Rice

Before you guys get all riled up, let me put a disclaimer here – there is no such thing called fried rice in Mexican cuisine. To be perfectly honest this is a Mexican inspired fried rice. All the elements in this recipe like beans, tomato, oregano and cumin are Mexican cuisine staples and bring a unique flavour to the dish.

It’s a perfect way to use up leftover boiled rice. If you are tired of eating different versions of chindian fried rice or Indian pulao you can give this Mexican fried rice a try! its easy, its tangy and its super quick to whip up !!

I’ve topped this rice with sourcream. You can also serve it with cheesy sauce. You will find the recipe here. Along with the recipe of homemade salsa and nacho chips.

You can try my tandoori gobi tikka or baked vada pav recipe !!
