New Mexico Style Spanish Rice image

My mother taught me this recipe. When she makes this rice, there's never any left! Using red bell pepper adds some sweetness which works well with the chili. It has a wonderful smokey flavor and now that rotel and similar products are on the market, there's no need to send to New Mexico for green chili!

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
