    This Mexican inspired side dish is perfect for those nights. Its super quick and much healthier than using a boxed pre-seasoned rice (also MUCH lower in sodium and made with real fresh veggies as opposed to dehydrated ones). You can use frozen brown rice from Trader Joes or make your own frozen brown rice to keep on hand for busy nights!,Alt=,Rice is my favorite carb, I love it more than potatoes or even pasta! But brown rice isnt always as tasty as white rice, not true for this dish! This Mexican rice has so much flavor thanks to the onions, garlic, tomatoes, cilantro and spices. Trust me, your family will flip! I love this with this slow cooker salsa chicken and guacamole on the side when I need an easy weeknight meal.,Chicken Sausage Brown Rice Stuffing,Dirty Brown Rice,Stuffed Pepper Soup,Shrimp Peas and Rice,Brown Fried Rice
