First, I want to clarify that this type of rice has many names to it. I tend to call it Mexican Rice because I am Mexican and I grew up eating this rice every single day. But you might hear it being called Spanish Rice, Red Rice, or even Arroz Rojo. Regardless, the flavor is the same, and it is so easy to make!
