While creating this recipe, I told my husband that it was either going to turn out like a Mexican Rice or a Spanish Rice. He add how about a South Western Rice? When it was done, he said it was Mexican-ish Rice, so thats what we call it! It has a little heat behind it from the cayenne pepper, but you can adjust it to give it more heat or less heat! I eat it topped with cheddar cheese and sour cream! So yummy!
