Best Zesty Spanish Rice Recipes
ZESTY SPANISH RICE LOW FAT
This is a twist on the regular Spanish rice. I stumbled upon this by accident when I opened a can of "Herdez Salsa Verde Mexicana picante" instead of green chillies. I decided to throw it in and see how it turned out. The rice turned out great. I love the flavor and it's low fat!!

This is a family favorite side dish, especially with Mexican menues. It is off the Rice-a-Roni site and is very easy to prepare. You can make it a main course, if you'd like, by adding browned ground beef or turkey.
