Arroz Mexicana (Mexican Rice) image

This is a really good Mexican rice recipe. I thought my kids would never want anything but the "Spanish Rice" that comes in a box, but as they grew their tastes matured too, thank goodness! I like to use fresh raw peas and corn kernels when possible. Try this, I think you'll like it! UPDATE: Thanks to my Zaar friends Rita and Paula, I've edited my mistake in the amount of broth originally posted to 3 1/2 cups.

This arroz mexicana is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to serve.

This arroz mexicana is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

This arroz mexicana was bland and flavorless. I was really disappointed.

This arroz mexicana was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less chili powder next time.
