Spicy Salsa Verde Rice

This spicy salsa verde rice has great flavor and is a delicious side dish. With the salsa verde taste, mixed with the spiciness of the jalapeños, makes for one delicious rice dish.

Spicy Salsa Verde Rice

A perfect side dish to go along side any Mexican dish. Great served with enchiladas, tacos, burritos and perfect to go hand in hand with your favorite beans. 

Spicy Salsa Verde Rice

I made this rice to go along with my crock pot spicy chicken with beans. So delicious and super tasty.

So if you’d like to change-up a basic rice side dish recipe, then this recipe is the one to try with the delicious salsa verde flavor. Just melt butter in a large frying pan over low flame, add onions and then garlic, saute and add rice to the pan. Cook until the rice starts to brown and then pour in the chicken broth along with the Rotel®, salsa verde, seasonings and jalapeños. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes and you will have some delicious tasting rice!
