Cheesy Tomato Spanish Rice

Taco Bell used to serve these delicious rice, which they switched to Cilantro Rice, later on. That side rice dish was so delicious, tomatoe-y, gooey with cheese and oh-so comforting. The kids called it Red Rice and when the Taco Bell stopped making it, they were disappointed.
Then we tried some store bought, ready to cook, Ronzoni kinda Cheesy Tomato Spanish Rice. Aa-aa…not even close. You must be thinking that what I am talking about….Taco bell and Ronzoni and that too Sonal? 😮😱..Yes! I like fast food chain and ready to cook meals. I am human too! 😂
The girls were begging me to make some Mexican Food since sometime. We decided to make the past Monday as Mexican Monday. It was delicious. I cooked some of the cheesy tomato Spanish rice and some mock meat (soy granules) burritos. They were super hit. Though the rice was not exactly Mexican but similar route :).
This is how I made these super easy rice. It is a perfect meal for weekday night. Done under 30 minutes. Delicious. Comforting. Best to warm up the chilly fall night!
Another dish from my Indian American Kitchen to yours! Simple recipe, easily available ingredients, no special shopping required and ready in no time!
Enjoy!

So good, I’ve been using more rice recently 🙂
Yayyy 🙂
Have got some pink Mediterranean tic rto try. Will keep you post on that
Sounds interesting…
Looks vey much like our family Spanish rice Sonal. Nice combo of ingredients. We never thought of putting cheese on it though!
Thank you Gerard :). That cheese is Taco Bell effect
Awesome idea. I’m trying this with brown rice!
That would be fantastic

I am sure you will love it
Sonal, you had me with cheesy tomato…..love that combination in the rice! Your rice looks very yummy and the Mexican Monday was such a great idea!
Thanks Sandhya
Girls loved it ❤️
Another great rice dish from your kitchen to mine. FYI, I took your mint and pea pulao recipe across the pond and cooked it for my mom and sisters. They loved it, and have taken the recipe too :). Not sure where I got the recipe for paneer tikka masala, but I served your rice with that and it was such a huge hit! I’m having a rough time getting back to blogging, but I know I need to get motivated and moving soon 🙂
Hugs Loretta :). I am so glad that the family across the ocean loved the pulav! The mint is so magical in it!
Miss your posts too!
Festive season is coming up and it’s the perfect t time to pick back on the blog wagon !❤️❤️
Your rice looks so tasty! Yum!
Thank you so much
