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.
