@maribelfeliciano5999

Sorry but there is no such thing as Mexican rice. The rice originated in China and from there " Spanish colonizers introduced Asian rice (Oryza sativa) to Mexico in the 1520s. ", incidentally the Spaniards are also responsible for giving you your language ... you dont say that you speak Mexican do you ? Anyways, stop acting like you got your own stuff.

Not trying to accuse Jose of copying since a lot of Mexican rice is made in similar ways but I found this video made before Jose’s video which has the same recipe https://youtube.com/shorts/Ci5J1rPr3ek?si=OuBYrNmACClVZP64

@

Hey bro. I want to try alligator🐊. Have you had it have you tried it🫣? Can you make that in a video 😏

@AnointedKameshaHeavenIsWithMe

@

Never wash your rice for Mexican rice. And then fry the rice until toasty.
Comes out so fluffy and good.
Just like mì mama.

@JB-tr6nu

@

How many teaspoons or tablespoons are in a packet of tomato or chicken bouillon? Mine comes in an 8 oz jar.

Delish bro!

@consuelonuguid

@

I had to laugh....for Thanksgiving, I wanted to make a 7 layer taco dip and chopped up some jalapenos. I visited the throne to relieve myself, washed my hands, and returned to preparing. All of a sudden I had this burning sensation "down there." I thought I had a UTI or something was going terribly wrong, and excused myself to go lay down. Only later did a realize I had jalapeno weiner.

@JJ-qt6wc

@

Fried rice one of my favorite dish

I've never had salsa but looking at those ingredients i think ill like it very much

@HammyAndSammy

Replace all those ingredients with a tbsp of Knorr brand caldo de tomate con sabor de pollo. Banger.

@andrewb9942

The very first time I made this type of rice I was literally just following an infographic I saw on the internet and was a college student inexperienced in cooking, but it came out so perfect I was really encouraged. But every subsequent time it has come out with something wrong! And I don't have that original recipe anymore, so I'm gonna follow this method exactly and try again! lmao
