Mexican Rice Cooker Rice

By Addie

I love my rice cooker. It is becoming one of the most used small appliances in my kitchen. I love the convenience of my rice cooker, especially for recipes like this one. I can place everything in the rice cooker, push the button, and have a healthy and filling meal in no time.

I serve this for lunch or dinner. I usually serve it with chips and a salad for a simple, but really good meal my whole family enjoys. This is one of those meals that can easily be made start to finish in 25 minutes or less. I love those kinds of meals. Quick, easy, and frugal meals work for me.
