This version of Spanish Rice is creamy, with a little spice and provides major side dish comfort!
It’s creamy and soft and has a risotto like consistency and I promise you will feel like you spent hours in the kitchen after tasting this delightful yet so simple side dish.
This recipe goes great paired with Roasted Veggie Quesadillas.
I’ll just get right to this easy recipe!
