It tastes like everybody’s favorite Mexican rice restaurant dish. Except in 30 minutes or less, it is transformed into a full, hearty meal. This rice pot was always a staple in my house because this is one of the things we can all agree about. I used to put it together and baked it in the oven. I could only turn that into a pottery dish until I realized that I can make this using the stove. We enjoy this also with an additional salsa side and a dollop of sour cream.
