Quick and Simple 20 minute Mexican Rice in a Rice Cooker

Posted on April 11, 2018June 17, 2022 by lizzholla

There is something to be said for simplicity nowadays. When everything is so needlessly complicated with too many bells and whistles. It can be a relief to have something like dinner be simple and painless. What’s more painless than a one dish recipe? I started a challenge on my channel, simply titled Rice Cooker Recipes. My first video in that series is not a coincidence and it marries into this recipe very well. In the first video, I share with you how simple and easy it is to cook dry beans in a rice cooker. Something I have been doing in my slow cooker taking up to 8 hrs in the past, now takes me less than a half hour

Dry beans are a cheap and healthy protein that can keep you full and energized for long periods of time. So I always try to eat them at least once a day. That’s just another reason why this recipe is so amazing. It’s chalk full of protein from the beans, and good vitamins and minerals from the veggies. All combined in delicious saucy goodness.

This rice is creamy because of the starches from the rice and the avocado. Depending on what salsa you choose the spice for the dish are blended into the dish through that. So definitely pick a salsa you know you love! This dish would be great with a spicy jalapeno based salsa (for those of us that LOVE spicy!) If you are more of a purist with your salsa though and choose homemade, or a less runny chunky version. You are likely to have a lack of smoothness through the rice.

I am so glad I got my rice cooker when I did. It has saved me time and time again in the kitchen. I have so many rice cooker recipes I can’t wait to share with you.
