What is Mexican Rice?

• Spanish rice, also known as [Mexican rice], is a typical side dish in northern Mexico.
• This always savory (occasionally spicy) side dish is popular outside Mexico, particularly in the Southwestern United States.
• The names Spanish rice and [Mexican rice] imply the same dish, although this dish is not part of the cuisine of Spain.

History of Mexican Rice

• Here is no definitive explanation for why some people refer to this tomato-flavored rice as Spanish.
• Although it is not prepared in Spain, there are strong indications of how it is.
• Rice is not indigenous to Mexico; it was introduced in the 1500s when Spain began its invasion. The Spaniards started importing cows, pigs, goats, and chickens.
• As the Spaniards continued their world tour, they visited Asia and brought wheat and rice back to Mexico. Given that the Spanish were responsible for introducing rice to Mexico, it makes sense for a traditional rice dish to be known as “Spanish rice.”
• Because Mexicans speak Spanish and prepare this rice dish, another theory suggests that the country’s language was incorporated into the name.

Characteristics of Mexican Rice

Different regions of Mexico prepare rice differently. If you order rice in northern Mexico, you will likely receive traditional Mexican (or Spanish) rice prepared with chicken broth and tomato flavors.

In southern Mexico, however, plain white rice is more prevalent. Adding broth, tomato, onion, and garlic is the Mexican way to flavor rice, and the term “Mexican rice” indicates that the rice was prepared in the Mexican style.
