How To Make mexican rice

    Wait until it boils, then add lid and turn down the heat to medium. Water will evaporate, fluff with fork. If rice is done there will NOT be any solid white kernels. You may need to add more water if there are uncooked kernels, (just add a 1/4 oz or so not a lot). After that wait for it to evaporate and fluff with fork and serve. Practice makes perfect.
